Space Engineering

Our Video Gallery has just been complemented with a short video called "Faint Associations: SpaceEngineering No.9", which is Johan Stjernholm's latest movement study.

Rave reviews are starting to appear for the latest collaboration between SpaceEngineering and Foolishpeople: "A Red Threatening Sky", directed by John Harrigan and choreographed by Johan Stjernholm.

According to Garbriella Apicella, writing for Remotegoat, "the detail and beauty of this work is spellbinding, so that at times one loses all sense of where the performance begins and the truth ends".

Howard Loxton, in the British Theatre Guide, says that "Anyone who has lived at all will find moments that will be personally painful but this is a fascinating experience and it is performed with such reality by the actors that it is totally absorbing".

The performance will only run until 20th February, so hurry to get the tickets at www.clubaethereus.com

More information about the piece and about FoolishPeople may be found at www.foolishpeople.com
