Gary Clarke Company's DETENTION
In 1988, a piece of legislation from Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government devastated lives.
DETENTION, Gary Clarke Company's new dance theatre show following previous works COAL and WASTELAND, explores SECTION 28, which 'prohibited the promotion of homosexuality', forcing the LGBT+ community into a place of secrecy, fear and shame; set to a backdrop of nationwide industrial turmoil and the onslaught of AIDS.
Gary Clarke uses powerful storytelling drawing on verbatim testimonies with vivid choreography performed by a company of exceptional dancers, a narrator, and local cast of LGBT+ people. Featuring music tracks by iconic TEST DEPT, DETENTION is a bold and moving portrayal of the remarkable resilience of the individuals and organisations of the time.
Age restriction: 14+
