“the company approach their theme with an apocalyptic energy that’s by turns funny and alarming and intoxicating... I have rarely laughed so much.”
Independent on Sunday

An irreverent tour of advertising, breaking news, political campaigns and cheap entertainment, Big Sale is a blitz on the media where the seven performers struggle to separate fact from fiction.

Commissioned by Danceworks, Brighton Dome, South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell and The Point, Eastleigh, with additional support from DanceEast, East London Dance and The Place.

“Bouncing on and off a scaffolding set, the pert and perky performers whip up a blackly humorous satire” Metro

“The parallels that Silvestrini draws are so witty and persuasive… that the 70 minutes of dance, film and text gel into a refreshingly funny and thought-provoking piece of theatre” Sunday Telegraph
