Nine Years Old (Not Quite Ten/No Longer Eight)

Nine Years is at SS Michael & John, Essex Street West (3 minutes from Project Arts Centre) tonight and tomorrow.

Since forming in 1997 Lone Twin has become one of the UK's leading performance makers, showing regularly across the world to popular and critical acclaim. Formed by Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters, originally to work with performance on ideas of place, context and travel, Lone Twin have created an internationally celebrated body of work. Performances often involve great physical attempts on playfully heroic journeys, concentrating on contextual concerns the work has often engaged with local environments and conditions. For some years a series of walks across cities, villages, towns and shorelines created performances built of meetings with local residents, workers, tourists. Premiered in 2006, this is Lone Twin's last duo performance piece, a farewell to their first nine years.

You will learn about their heroic attempts to line dance blindfolded for 12 hours, to read Moby Dick's 135 chapters in their entirety over a three day North Sea crossing and many other wonderful follies.
