5 Soldiers

5 Soldiers is a moving, dramatic and unique work that looks at how the human body remains essential to war, even in the 21st century. A visceral tour de force of the senses, this piece provides an intimate view of the training that prepares soldiers for the sheer physicality of combat, for the possibility of injury, and the impact conflict has on the bodies and minds of everyone it reaches. The piece has a powerful physicality, moments of humour and is full of honesty, all inspired by input from serving and former soldiers. Choreographed by Rosie Kay and filmed in a real British Army drill hall in London in September 2017. Multi camera version and live stream commissioned by The Space.
