Jarman in Pieces 2024
On the 30th anniversary year of
Jarman's death Project Adorno are performing special performances of
their acclaimed Jarman in Pieces show.
Filmmaker,
painter, gay rights activist, author, gardener – Derek
Jarman packed many roles into a short life. Thirty years
from his death, his standing has never been higher. And
yet he remains a contradictory figure: a self-effacing
exhibitionist, a well-to-do RAF child who embraced the
possibilities of punk. For decades, he was a thorn in the
establishment’s side and yet is now dangerously close to
something he would have hated – the status of national
treasure.
A performance collage comprising
original songs, film, interviews with people who knew
Jarman, ambient sounds and spoken word that aims to
celebrate these contrasts rather than reconcile them.
