Britain's What's On Event Guide
Ockham's Razor TESS at the Peacock Theatre
Ockham's Razor's phenomenal new show TESS is coming to the Peacock Theatre! TESS is part of Sadler's Wells' new season in association with Mime London International.
Produced by Turtle Key Arts
An ensemble of performers weave together Hardy’s words and the extreme physicality of circus to tell this tale of power, loss and endurance.
Against a backdrop of projections, the cast wield wooden planks, climb shifting walls and move through ropes and swathes of linen to evoke the vast landscapes and interior worlds of Hardy’s Wessex.
Female relationships, sexual desire, consent, privilege and poverty; themes which resonate now as much as ever. See Tess as Hardy intended; strong, heroic and powerful.
Ockham’s Razor are a contemporary circus company who combine circus and visual theatre to make work that is arresting and entertaining.
“Ockham’s Razor have created something authentically fresh. Charming, frightening, mesmerising and heartbreaking – my favourite show of the year
Bristol 247
“A coming together of talents to make something quite special out of one of the cornerstones of the literary canon. The sheer level of talent and ingenuity displayed by the cast brings us to our feet”
