Only Bones v1.6 - Marina Cherry

Only Bones is a dance on the edge of the body's capacity - a whimsical, physical and visually compelling solo in which Marina plays with the body's possibilities in a minimalistic set-up, creating a disturbing jumble of physical and mental manipulations. With bursting bubbles of banality, she pushes boundaries and innovatively explores how the body performs under extreme limitations.

Only Bones v1.6 is an evolved project based on the original Only Bones v1.0 by Thomas Monckton.

What critics say

"... from inhuman, to odd, beautifully unhinged, tormented ritual, cast out, lost. ... Is it possible to be both strange and serious? To act out with great solemnity the very absurdity of our being? It certainly appears so here.... This is the first time that I have laughed out loud and felt horrified within a single piece." By Emilee Lord 

"Physically, the performance tested the limits of human movement at many points. Darkly comical, macabre, and touching." By Annikki Alku 

"Marina Cherry looked like someone who had woken up from a dream. ... the performance was funny, bizarre, and oh-so-human." By Elli Brandt
