Stories of love and trauma
Devised and Performed by The Unusual Suspects
Directed by David Calvert, Rogue Encounters Artistic Director, assisted by Jade Quinn, Rogue Encounters Outreach Director
The ‘many splendored’ thing that is love, exemplified in the many-faceted stories of people who have survived catastrophic brain injury. Stories of devotion and desertion, high romance and comedy, longing and contentment. Love as food is to life, love that feeds the will to go on after trauma and love that vanishes in the face of the realities of life after trauma.
The Unusual Suspects is a physical theatre ensemble that has been two years in the making; two years of theatre training and intimate sharing of life experiences, that have resulted in the successful Broken Bodies production featured in the 2023 Bounce Festival and more recently to widespread acclaim at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast.
This new work will have new things to say about something we all think we know everything about already. This is an ensemble of storytellers that can stop you in your tracks with vivid depictions of lives that have encompassed more extremes of experience than most of us can even imagine.
The Rhythm of Two Hearts will premiere at The Lyric Theatre, Belfast, on 3rd December to mark International Day of People with Disabilities.
