Monger (2008) – Barak Marshall
Monger [to hawk or to sell yourself]
I came across Monger whilst looking through the archive of Dance Umbrella’s 2010 Festival. It’s
a really compelling piece of Physical Theatre, helped along by a catchy Balkan gypsy soundtrack. I only wish I’d seen the whole thing back in October! Here’s a video which gives tasters from throughout the show:
Barak Marshall – Monger from Dance Umbrella on Vimeo.
Monger is a physical-theatre work for 10 dancers and tells the story of a group of servants, trapped in the basement of the house of an abusive mistress. This is the work of acclaimed Israeli choreographer Barak Marshall, who brought his dramatic and entertaining physical-theatre work to the UK for the first time in May 2010, as part of the Dance Umbrella Festival.
His other well known works include Zion & Rooster and you can find video clips of both of these shows on Vimeo – well worth a look in my opinion!
