Pink explores the pushes, pulls, frictions and tensions between England and Wales. These two countries (or are they nations?) have a long history of battle, whether that be in castles, on rugby pitches or in our own sense of identity. During this show, we dissect these clashes, through movement, projection, sound and words.
Yos Theatre is a collaboration between choreographer Billy Maxwell Taylor (English) and theatre maker Rhys Horton (Welsh).
Together, they share stories: stories through Welsh and through English; Stories from long ago and from now; Stories that sound like English cities or look like Welsh waves. And finally, stories of internal struggle, where words fail and the only way to express is to release the tensions through movement.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
