See The Wedding at The Barbican Theatre
The Wedding returns to the Barbican Centre, 7 to 11 June 2022
Back by popular demand following an acclaimed sold out run as part of London International Mime Festival in 2019, Gecko return to the Barbican Theatre with our production The Wedding.
“Inspiration for creating work is all around us. It’s in our personal lives, in the news, politics, and in the relationships that we have with our friends, families and colleagues. By delving further into these relationships, I was struck by a sense that we are all married, bound by the many contracts of modern life. The Wedding is inspired by these complexities of human nature: the struggle between love and anger, creation and destruction, community and isolation. For this show we have created a dystopian world in which every one of us is a bride, wedded to society. But what are the terms of this relationship? And can we consider a divorce?” Amit Lahav, Artistic Director, Gecko.
It’s so wonderful to be back at the Barbican Centre, it’s such a incredible space to watch theatre and we love performing there, the response from the audience is always electric, particularly during the finale of this show. The Barbican also offer some great savings for groups and schools, along with tickets at 50% for students on Wednesday, so make sure you book yours now before they sell out again!
