Morris Offspring & Faustus

The Furnace

Saturday 30 March, 7.30pm

Each generation devours the old to forge the new until all that is left is tradition itself.

Surging with hot, raw energy, the unstoppable machinery of Morris Offspring, driven by the mighty sound of folk powerhouse Faustus, creates a rare jewel. This spirited 14-piece dance company collides head on with the earthy sound of Benji Kirkpatrick, Paul Sartin (Bellowhead) and Saul Rose (WarHorse), capturing the duel Morris traits of power and grace. The Furnace is all at once joyful, arty, ballsy, dark, and elegant. Expect rich vocal harmony, cracking tunes, speed, sticks and bounce. This is an explosive mix - thoroughly captivating and downright celebratory.
