Sweetshop Revolution’s new show Tree, at London’s artsdepot on September 15, promises to look beyond the city into woodland and wilderness – all washed down with mugs of cider for the audience.
Directed by Sally Marie, who has danced regularly with Protein Dance and with Duckie, Tilted Productions, H2 and Jasmin Vardimon, Sweetshop Revolution has a quirky and hospitable approach to dance theatre, feeding fairy cakes to the audience in past shows.
Tree takes four men on a tour of an invisible woodland. Kyle is a city boy stuck in the woods on community service; Colin, a nature-loving vegan, nevertheless has a fondness for barbecued chaffinch; Rex is a modern day shamanic force with a love of disco, while Sorrel falls down through the layers of himself and his family tree. The show looks at “inside” and “outside” selves, environments, wilderness and wildness. It’s a promenade performance, with complimentary mugs of cider offered to the audience during the course of the show.
