«A Crack» – 25 tracks about the state we are in

“There's a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in” Leonard Cohen

A new performance by Anna Furse – Athletes of the Heart in collaboration with performers:
Nicole Dimitrakopoulou & Anna Furse
sound composition: Graeme Miller
lighting: Nao Nagai
costumes: Berthe Fortin

«A Crack» is a new Anglo-Greek theatre work about burning issues of today. Ironic, surreal, dark, and funny by turns, in this physically charged dialogue the duet share their anxiety, despair and hope.

«A Crack» speaks of catastrophe, a world that has tilted on its axis. It unflinchingly stares into the abyss whilst fantasising utopia. It expresses a search for meaning, renewal and a way forward into a future. The text lies somewhere between the banality and urgency of social media and the philosophical discourse of Greek tragedy. The performers speak their dreams, their panic, their thirst for change.

«A Crack» is co-created with and performed by two women artists, who each inhabit different and new worlds post Brexit: they are three decades apart in age, one a mother, one a grandmother.
