Beautiful Hell choreographed by Gary Clarke

Acclaimed choreographer Gary Clarke has created a stunning and powerful new work on Edge Hill University's all male contemporary dance company - Edge FWD. A Beautiful Hell will be performed at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival at Dance Base from 3rd to the 12th August.
Neatly clad in boxer shorts and pyjamas, a company of 9 young men take to the stage to present an intricate landscape of dreams and desires that explores the notion of exclusion and what it's like to be an outsider. Bringing together a vivid combination of daring physical theatre, sophisticated gesture and improvised spoken word and a soundtrack that mixes the gritty sounds of Scottish post-rock band Mogwai with the mellow riffs of American country singer Roy Orbison, we follow one man's touching and darkly humorous journey in search of love, acceptance and freedom.
