6- Ground-breaking performance from Breathing Still

Seven women use live performance to transform Angel's Candid Arts First Floor Gallery space into a living, breathing art exhibition, as physical theatre company 'Breathing Still' premieres its unique new work Testament. Visitors will be invited to wander around the gallery at whim as human canvasses perform around them, exploring perceptions of beauty, sexuality, love, loss and the dawning awareness of childhood. Testament breaks down the barriers imposed by traditional theatre as visitors become voyeurs, free to observe whoever they want, whenever they want. Until 6th December 2007.
