Gecko Theatre CompanyThe Race
One man is on a collision course with his future, sprinting to the most important moment of his life. But will he be ready? Numbed by the ordinary world, an extraordinary world is upon him. How can a man prepare to meet his first child? Something so beautiful and yet so shocking. What will he feel the moment he sees his child's eyes?
Visually stunning and astoundingly athletic, barely pausing for breath this show chronicles a man trying to reconnect his feelings and truly live. The Race, the second production by this new and highly creative British company, is a whirl of masterful movement, vivid colour and emotive music.
