PUSH Physical Theatre (Samson)

Gravity defying PUSH Physical Theatre has been called a cross between fine art sculpture and the hit movie "The Matrix." You have NEVER seen anything like this before...it's cool, it's athletic, it's entertaining, it's impossible to resist... This theatre of the body features professional performers who appear to manipulate time and space in a live environment.
It's all about the stories. The narratives of our lives played out with hope, strength and optimism. Once you've experienced PUSH, you will know the strength of the human soul expressed by the power of the human body.
PUSH's unique form has transformed it into a national company that has performed all over England, across the United States and Mexico and appeared on PBS and NPR.

I do agree with you here although i think that this gestus is universal for cutting hair and was probably used for this reason. On the other hand we didn't need spoon feeding. I mean really that's the bit of the story i knew the best to be honest. they could have gotten away with showing that in anyway they wanted even if it was just rubbing his head. lol. Very good performance though as expected from Thealmighty PUSH.

i agree the miming of the scissors weakens the impact but i would have loved to have seen the whole thing, i have just signed up for a physical theatre course and now i cant wait

i love physical theatre but i think there could have been a more stylised way of cutting off Samsoms hair than miming scissors - other than that the piece looks ace
