We Are Ian
by In Bed With My Brothertheatre, physical-theatre-and-circus
1989. Manchester. Illegal raves. Acid parties. Do you remember it? Because we don’t. We weren’t even born. But Ian was. And Ian remembers.
about the production
WE ARE IAN is about our mate Ian, who was our age in the late 80s and early 90s Acid House scene in Manchester. The show is made from recordings of conversations we’ve had with Ian, and scored by his favourite tracks from the era. This show contains flashing images and lighting, frequent use of strong language and adult content. Recommended age guidance is 16+.
about the artist
In Bed With My Brother are Nora, Dora and Kat. We are three performance makers and three best friends. We use real-life stories. Either our own, or our mates’. But, there are no witty one-liners, and we’ve thrown away the kitchen sink. We make a massive song and dance of the mundane - a messy, multimedia mish-mash of clowning, dance routines and bad lip-syncing. We don’t use scripts. We’re not always sure exactly what it is we do… We’re just glad the threesome wasn’t just a one night stand.
