FK Alexander: NO WHERE // NOW HERE

Wednesday 8 & Thursday 9 June, 7.30pm

FK Alexander brings NO WHERE//NOW HERE to the Tramway, in its Scottish premier - originally commissioned for SPILL Festival of Performance, 2015 National Showcase.

''What's the bravest thing you ever did?"
He spat into the road a bloody phlegm.
''Getting up this morning," he said.
Cormac McCarthy - The Road

NOWHERE//NOW HERE is a bold, provocative and uncompromising work, combining action based performance with film collage and specifically designed sonics.

Images of Glasgow's Red Road demolition and demented post capitalist western 'civilisation' are set to a hypnotic and relentless score, while FK Alexander makes a  lone journey with coal - at once a highly physical and demanding task in space, and vividly evocative of both personal struggle and the ramifications of the human toll on a fragile and scorched earth.
