The Globe's summer season comes to a rousing close now with Tristan Bernays's bold and bloody reimagining of the story of Boudica, queen of the Iceni tribe who pursued savage revenge on the occupying Romans in AD61 for raping her daughters and snatching her land.

In the absence of much hard documentary evidence, Boudica has become a malleable symbol coopted to serve many contradictory purposes - an imperial cult figure for the Victorians; a feminist icon for the Suffragettes; and latterly an ur-Brexiteer. The Daily Telegraph has dubbed Theresa May "the Brexit Boadicea", not minding the irony that this leader''s story ended in crushing defeat.

Bernays builds on the few recorded facts. We see that when she continues to press her claims about rightful inheritance, Boudica is publicly flogged and her daughters are viciously violated. We see her raise an army from the fractious tribes under Roman rule and march on and sack Camulodunum,

Making her debut at the Globe, Gina McKee commands the stage with a performance that radiates the kind of understated natural authority that does not need to bellow or posture to achieve its ends. Its her control of the fires within that makes this Boudica so arresting. But instead of simplifying her as a nationalist icon, Bernays and McKee explore her fierce commitment to her daughters and the competing demands on her as mother and general in a world where women are treated as spoils of victory.

Natalie Simpson and Joan Iyiola are wonderfully passionate as the siblings, Blodwynn and Alonna who react to their traumatising treatment by the Romans at the start in such opposed ways. Blodwynn turns into a vengeful killing-machine; Alonna recoils from violence with vomiting horror, befriends a first generation Roman woman who says "This is my land. I was born here", and eventually parts company with the now blood-lusting rebel cause.

Don't imagine, though, that the proceedings ever turn into some pious tract for Remainers. Bernays has said that he pitched the piece as Shakespeare-meets- Games-of-Thrones and it has that kind of heady vibe. Sure, it's flawed; its mixing of registers - pastiche iambic pentameter and sweary modern - isn't always happy and can throw up rum passages such as "Get away, unless you'd have me cleave your cock from 'tween your legs". But it tells the story compellingly and with a real appetite for the adventure of presenting it in the Globe's distinctive auditorium.

Eleanor Rhode, who directs with terrific flair, pours theatrical energy into every available space (watch out for the Roman soldiers abseiling from the top tier). Up in the gallery, the dual drumming of Louise Anna Duggan and Calie Hough drives the drama forward with a powerful percussive beat. Tom Piper's excellent design of dangling gilded planks can conjure up a city shivering as it awaits attack, the post to which Boudica is tied for the flogging, or the forest of her final retreat. The 14-strong cast perform with relish and attack. The second act opens with a fist-pumping rendition of "London Calling" by The Clash. A stimulating last hurrah for the season but not, I'd wager, the last we see of either Bernays or Rhode at this address.

Die Compagnie Linga - 1992 von den TänzerInnen Katarzyna Gdaniec und Marco Cantalupo gegründet - hat sich mit einer sehr eigenen Mischung aus Innovation und hoher künstlerischer Qualität als  eine der wichtigsten  freien Kompanien der Schweiz etabliert. Der künstlerische Ansatz wird von politischen und sozialen Prozessen beeinflusst und reflektiert deren Auswirkungen auf den menschlichen Körper. In „Tabula” werden die Spielregeln durch den Einsatz von zwei riesigen Tischen ständig verändert. Acht TänzerInnen teilen, erobern und umkämpfen einen Raum, der durch Licht, Körper und Klang immer wieder neu definiert wird. Dabei entstehen abendmahlartige Bilder, die an die Werke Caravaggios erinnern. 
 

Compagnie Linga – in 1992 door dansers Katarzyna Gdaniec en Marco Cantalupo opgericht – heeft zich met een zeer eigen mix uit innovatie en hoogstaande artistieke kwaliteit gepositioneerd als een van de belangrijkste onafhankelijke gezelschappen van Zwitserland. Hun werk wordt beïnvloed door politieke en maatschappelijke processen en gebruikt het menselijk lichaam om de gevolgen hiervan uit te beelden. In ‘Tabula’ worden de spelregels door de inzet van twee reusachtige tafels continu veranderd. Acht dansers delen, veroveren en vechten om de ruimte, die door licht, lichamen en geluid steeds weer opnieuw gedefinieerd wordt. Daarbij ontstaan avondmaalachtige taferelen, die herinneren aan de werken van Caravaggio.

KIBBUTZ CONTEMPORARY DANCE COMPANY | ISRAEL_IF AT ALL_SCHRIT_TMACHER 2017

Festivaleröffnung Aachen / festivalopening Aken
Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company (IL) „If At All”
Die Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company wurde 1970 gegründet und entwickelte sich in den letzten Jahren zu einer der bekanntesten Tanzkompanien Israels. Geprägt durch die Handschrift des künstlerischen Leiters Rami Be’er, erlangte das Ensemble international hohes Ansehen. Be’er gilt als einer der politischsten Schöpfer im Tanzbereich, dessen Werke von grandiosen Bildern und hoher Ausdrucksstärke geprägt sind. „If At All” erzählt keine Geschichte, sondern beansprucht durch Bilder und Szenen voller poetischer Melancholie, Schönheit und Hingabe eine eigenständige Existenz. Unter einem kleinen gelben Vollmond entfaltet sich das Treiben, Schweben, Bersten und Innehalten einer atemberaubenden Choreografie.

De Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company werd in 1970 opgericht en groeide in de afgelopen jaren uit tot een van de bekendste dansgezelschappen van Israël. Artistiek leider Rami Be’er drukte zijn onmiskenbare stempel op het ensemble en zette het daarmee internationaal op de kaart. Be’er geldt als een van de meest politieke scheppers binnen de danswereld. Zijn werk wordt gekenmerkt door een krachtige beeldtaal en indrukwekkende expressiviteit. ‘If At All’ vertelt geen verhaal; met de gekozen beeldtaal en scènes vol poëtische melancholie, schoonheid en overgave ontstaat een compleet op zichzelf staand stuk. Terwijl de dansers over het toneel zweven en springen, zich bewegen en dan weer inhouden, ontvouwt zich onder een stralende volle maan een adembenemende choreografie.

Having one person in a spot to highlight their death as people run by might work well to create the sense of battle happening. Use sound to create battle from the dying person's perspective.

Moments of battle. We tried to use this for a party in Faust and it didn't work. Maybe it's better for a battle scene. Highlights personal moments of battle. Replace music with the war drums music, add some weapons and then imagine what you can do. Like the unique perspective of backs as well.
