The Renegade Master by Juan Sanchez Plaza

"This piece is about social injustice, climate crisis, queer struggles and celebration, and capturing the speedy far-right political take over of the world. This is brilliantly portrayed through a cluster of black coloured suits tied together and crawling and sliming across the stage. It soon rises in height and stations itself almost resembling a scare crow, in a powerful stance. But the show of seriousness and power soon subsides and turns to humour as we suddenly hear the non sensible, ridiculous statements from Trump, gloating with ego, narcissism and making his ever ridiculous remarks about equality and freedom.
The contrast is most apparent when dancers switch into their new costumes, bright, fuzzy, eclectic, jackets with mutli-coloured light bulbs leaving the audience hysterical. They go around the room jumping, dancing, waving the pride flags and bringing in the audience to do the same, and ended up being a brilliant interactive piece. The music selection was strong for both contrasting pieces chosen and the use of costumes and lighting hugely fitting." - Review by Dance Arts Journal
