This finished its Edinburgh run yesterday. I have known for a few months that I wouldn't get a chance to see it, but now that its finished, I think I could cry. Dear Jean, Please tour this.
INSIDE is a compelling new dance by Brazilian choreographer Jean Abreu, with music by post-rock band 65daysofstatatic. This work explores violence, incarceration, solitude and hope.
Inspired by the world of prisons and the individuals confined within their walls, INSIDE touches a nerve that unsettles today’s society: violence and imprisonment. Raising philosophical and moral questions about the treatment of prisoners and the system that is there to rehabilitate them, this fierce new work deals with the relationship between prisoner and prison in a society increasingly obsessed with control.
In this physically demanding performance, Abreu uses the body to interpret the effect of incarceration on the individual to create a movement vocabulary charged with emotional content and raw expression. In this journey, Jean directs a group of outstanding male dancers to navigate their way through the piece, confronting their own thoughts and vulnerabilities to reveal the real person behind the ‘criminal’.

The reviews I've seen for it have been great, also.
