Throat

Created by Flick Ferdinando and John-Paul Zaccarini

Anyone who thought Circus was just for kids, will have to reconsider after witnessing Throat, a critically acclaimed, witty and sexy fusion of circus, physical comedy and dance. Throat is a stunning display of physical grace and eroticism, yet beneath its glittering surface it has something profound to say about the human condition.

Harnessing the effects of light and water, Throat explores issues of masculine identity and vulnerability, and the nature of performing- for oneself, a partner, an audience. John-Paul Zaccarini directed by Flick Ferdinando shifts from hilarity to despair, vulnerability to cock sure, suspended above the stage, shedding clouds of flour, slithering in the pools of water that rain on stage; preening for the audience and the mirror, transforming himself into representations of all levels of sex, love and that messy stuff in between.

This was the first creation of Company F/Z, a unique duo in the creation of theatre from a contemporary circus root. Hailed as innovators because of their original synthesis of comedy, thrilling physical energy and spectacular visual effect , theirs is a very particular and special collaboration; Ferdinando a comedy/physical theatre director and Zaccarini a choreographer/ physical actor.

Suitable for audiences 15 and over.
