Rhiannon Faith Company: Lay Down Your Burdens

Wed 14 May View Venues, Dates & Times

“The constant in all my work is love,” explains socially conscious choreographer Rhiannon Faith, who this month brings critically acclaimed show Lay Down Your Burdens to Coventry. “I know how that might sound, but actually, I think it’s brave to say. I make work about the human experience, and at the heart of that, the most essential thing that we truly know and we truly need, is love; to give it and to receive it.”

Set in an on-stage pub and exploring themes of grief, serious illness and personal suffering, Rhiannon’s Olivier Award-nominated show combines physical performance, personal testimonials, music from a live Ceilidh band and a selection of pub games. Its stated aim? To ‘draw together those who have been estranged or never even dreamed they were connected’. 

A free-but-ticketed workshop takes place the night before the show (Tuesday the 13th) from 6pm to 7.30pm.
