RED...

Through a diverse programme this exciting new company invite you to experience the inner world of Zu. Under the spot light two heroines proceed with desperate tantrums, dramatic skill, meticulous box ticking and magnificent loss of dignity. RED.. is an ingenious and absurd exploration of behaviour. 

Deft choreography combines with brutal & acute comic observation, Zu break the mould of cabaret, aerial circus and visual theatre to produce the truly unclassifiable and completely entertaining RED.
