“The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.” – Salvador Dalí

When Federico Garcia Lorca and a young Salvador Dali crossed paths their lives were inexplicably set alight. Together these art-radicals drew each other into a world rotating on a razor-point of art, passion and revolution. This is a queer-as-fuck head-trip into forbidden love and fantasy where nothing might be real but everything beats with unbridled desire and drips in technicolour.

Having achieved critical acclaim with The Hamlet Apocalypse, The Danger Ensemble return with an achingly beautiful work that fuses dance, image and song cycle to create a surrealist wake that mourns the loss of love and lovers. An ode to volition, join us as we pay tribute to two of art’s great outsiders who fought to express through their work a freedom that was never theirs.

“Let’s entwine ourselves as one, our mouth broken, our soul bitten by love, so time discovers us safely destroyed.” – Federico García Lorca
