Edinburgh Festival Fringe – It Needs Horses and Home for Broken Turns
It Needs Horses and Home for Broken Turns, Zoo Southside, 18 to 25 August, £12 (£10 concessions)
The Place Prize for Dance winners Lost Dog pair their winning duet It Needs Horses with the company’s newest work Home for Broken Turns which will be presented from Sunday 18th August – Sunday 25th August 2013 at 11.40am each day at Zoo Southside.
This blackly comic and highly physical dance theatre is performed by an international cast from some of Europe’s best regarded dance and physical theatre companies including Scottish Dance Theatre, bgroup, Tilted Productions and Gecko.
The Home for Broken Turns is the kind of place that makes you dream of running away to the circus. But it is also a sanctuary, a place where the few remaining occupants could be described as family. This is the story of a group of women who exist on the outskirts, fiercely protective of each other and ready to savage anything that threatens to break up their dwindling pack.
It Needs Horses tells the tale of a down at heel circus duet and their increasingly desperate attempts to entertain the crowd. The glamour has faded and the performers have forgotten their acts, but the show must go on.
