Static, London, uk
Information on Static
Graeae Theatre Company and Suspect Culture
present Static by Dan Rebellato
22 April 3 May, Soho Theatre, London
A story of love, loss and compilation tapes. A young widow discovers a
compilation tape left by her husband and becomes convinced he is
communicating with her from beyond the grave. This is a bitter-sweet story
told through stark and concise dialogue, sign language and a rich
soundtrack that takes in Sonic Youth and Nirvana picking up Elvis and The
Smiths along the way. Static explores what it is to love and to lose and
delves into the human need for communication and understanding.
All performances of Static are British Sign Language interpreted and audio
described.

the established rules of art appreciation from sight (look) to the sense
of touch (feel) the gallery experience instantly becomes an intimate,
fresh and liberating art experience.
All works in
the exhibition feature audio-visual descriptive guide and large print
