Blue Now Aviva Studios, Factory International 8 Dec 2024 - 9 Dec 2024

A live performance of Derek Jarman’s seminal film Blue

BLUE NOW brings together a star-studded cast – Travis Alabanza, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Jay Bernard and Joelle Taylor. Together they perform Jarman’s powerful words (previously voiced by Nigel Terry, John Quentin, Tilda Swinton and Jarman himself) alongside a new score, performed live by original composer Simon Fisher Turner in collaboration with cellist and composer Lucy Railton.

Arriving at Aviva Studios after a sell-out tour across the UK last year, BLUE NOW is a unique opportunity to reflect on the impact of the AIDS epidemic and create space for compassion, rage and poetry in the face of prejudice.

Nothing here for now
