SUPERFAN are taking their high-octane smash hit Edinburgh Fringe show Stuntman on tour!
Award-winning Scottish company SUPERFAN are taking their high-octane smash hit Edinburgh Fringe show Stuntman on tour, supported by Creative Scotland. The show uses a blend of dance, theatre and circus, to present a hilarious, and tender ode to the relationship between masculinity and male violence. The show will be calling at The Place in London on 4th October.
This explosive highly acclaimed performance showcases a duet in which two stuntmen wrestle with their relationship to violence on and off screen. Told through a series of satirical stunts with high impact, Stuntman is not only inspired by classic and contemporary action movies such as Die Hard and John Wick, but also the performers’ personal experiences of their relationships with violence and aggression.
Through hard-hitting and entertaining theatrics, performers David Banks and Sadiq Ali introduce an up close and personal look into their lives in an intensely physical, funny, and moving production. Stuntman will immerse the audience in highly physical exaggerated fight sequences and challenge how we think about violence in the media and questions the impact that action-hero role models have on men and boys.
Director and Deviser of Stuntman Pete comments, It’s great to be bringing Stuntman back to audiences around the UK, and to be touring to a lot of places we haven’t taken work to before. This show is bursting with fun as well as tackling some really complex themes, and every time we perform the show it feels like those themes have just become more urgent and relevant. I especially can’t wait to bring the show to my hometown of Berwick-upon-Tweed (the first time I’ve toured there) and to audiences in HMPYOI Polmont.
