BandBazi - Love Indeed tour dates 2009

BandBazi’s latest aerial production takes its inspiration from Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra and the first passionate meeting between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Love Indeed is a heady drama performed 20 feet in the air.

Within both the public and private realm of these iconic characters, love and pleasure conflicts with lust and power. On a film set in Italy in 1961, two actors meet. She’s a superstar, he’s a Shakespearian actor. They have both come to make the film Cleopatra. Over 12 intense scenes the dynamic of their relationship is explored from falling in love, to jealously, infidelity and obsession.

This is a vibrant piece of new writing with a strong narrative line. Scenes from Shakespeare’s mature romance are interwoven with a contemporary love story, contrasting his sublime poetry with sparse modern text to create a piece that explores universal themes of middle aged love and relationships.

BandBazi’s is a Brighton based company known for its creative productions, combining circus with theatre. Its last production Breakfast at Audrey’s won a 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe First.

Brighton’s Argus called Love Indeed “A touching and beautiful love story, drenched with a joy of performing and storytelling, which adds a cheeky hint of modernity to an ancient and enduring tale.”
