When his father's body lay undiscovered for ten days in 1985, Andrew Dawson was left to confront a complex mixture of grief, guilt and love. Out of this deeply personal experience emerged a work of extraordinary emotional honesty.
More than 20 years after its inception, Dawson revisits his award-winning production, bringing a deepened perspective to a work that will continue to resonate.
Blending moments of tenderness with wry humour, he explores the unique bond between father and son through a powerful language of unspoken intimacy, movement, sculpture, and video, underpinned by an evocative score from Joby Talbot.
