Rockbottom a powerful, absorbing and topical new dance theatre solo from Stuart Waters comes to the Marlborough Pub and Theatre on Friday, March 1.
COMBINING bold story-telling with highly physical choreography, Rockbottom is a moving portrait of one man’s journey through depression and addiction.
While the subject matter of Rockbottom is semi-autobiographical, the piece is accessible and is designed to alternately move, challenge, and illuminate the audience.
The themes of depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal are leavened with unexpected humour and warmth; the mood of the piece skyrockets between existential angst and irony while prominence is given to the roles of resilience and support networks along the road to recovery. Rockbottom is a thought-provoking piece as well as a reflective tool for everyone concerned with mental well-being.
Stuart Waters’ critically acclaimed physical theatre identity, honed over many years of performance with high profile contemporary dance companies is centre-stage in this riveting exploration of one man’s personal struggle to find the light. Rockbottom marks his debut as a solo writer/performer.
