THEATREVIEW – TAMA MA

The show opens with a film, Pito (or umbilical cord), created by the dancers with Mark Summerville, showing their birth into a dark savage other worldly place – the world of dance?  Almost naked, they are joined together by a thick rough umbilical cord, grunt and snarl at each other before they chew the cord through.  It turns into two eels, and red blood leaks out.  This starts off the next section with the shock appearance on screen of the two dancers in wigs, red party frocks and high heels, and so dressed, they now appear on stage!
