Watch Me Fall
Action Hero
Tue 5 - Thu 7 August 5pm
Pay What You Can
I'm going over in a barrel. I'm leaving the cannon, hitting the ramp at 90mph and clearing ten double decker buses. I might fall. I might break my body into several pieces, but then I'll dust myself off and do it all over again.
I've done this once before…..only this time, I'm going further.
Action Hero have measured it out, done a few calculations and are confident that it could go either way.
'Watch Me Fall' is a work-in-progress, and is part of a new project that explores daredevils, our obsession with those who attempt the impossible, the futility of their attempts and their inevitable fall from grace.
Action Hero are a Bristol-based company making performance and live art. They are Arnolfini Associate Artists and members of Residence.
