MARK STOROR : A TENDER SUBJECT

16 Mar-31 Mar 2012

Artangel
London EC1R

Overview

The thought of the act of crying. The terror of, and need to, attach a smile to someone. These are the quiet and tender moments imagined by men whose lives are not seen to be their own. A culmination of two years work with gay prisoners and prison officers, Mark Storor’s a tender subject is a twilight world where questions about who we are as human beings, and why we react and judge the way we do, are posed in a promenade performance that explores the relationship between fragility and brutality, tenderness and violence.
