Fuel presents Clod Ensemble’s Red Ladies
Red Ladies responded to the geographical location in which it took place – the architecture, history and the people. The work has taken place across the UK and Portugal from 2005 – 2015.
Unfolding in two stages; a series of interventions in public spaces followed by a ‘theatrical demonstration’ within a theatre.
The Red Ladies were a group of identically dressed women who transformed, celebrated, and disrupted the environment around them. Appearing on rooftops, doorways, in places of cultural interest, they commandeered their own limousines, their own brass band and sometimes even a helicopter. Their enigmatic presence en masse compelled the public to look anew at the familiar streets and landmarks of their city.
THE RED LADIES ARE ON THEIR WAY.
WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT DO THEY WANT?
DO THEIR STILETTOS POSE A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY?
BE VIGILANT!
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING!
This event is facilitated by Red Ladies’ auxiliary staff at Clod Ensemble, creators of original performance
