This new show is a touching and absurd celebration of the human spirit, loosely based on our fascination with those who refuse to stay out of the spotlight despite their questionable talent. Bezerkus is a piece of physical theatre based around entertainment in its primitive human form. Mr & Mrs Clark have taken inspiration from the sideshows of the early part of the twentieth century but they also reference the modern ‘freak shows’ broadcast on multiple television stations and consider a future vision of entertainment based on the bleak post apocalyptic representations of Russell Hoban in his novel ‘Riddley Walker’.

"We are not attempting to promote a deeper meaning of the human condition, there are no answers here, you may say there are no questions, but in a further dehumanised society, that builds new libraries using machines rather than people to log the books out, Bezerkus may well be considered either a paean to past human endeavour or a prelude to a future starved of energy, aborted globalisation and spent." Mr & Mrs Clark
"A short, sharp, mind-battering dream draped in disorder hovering on the edge of nightmare waiting to fall. This spectacle is impossible to define and indisputably bizarre, but call this pickled mind sadistic, I enjoyed it!" Amy Stackhouse, Theatre Wales
