Description
Celebrating the strength of mature bodies and challenging the cult of youth, the show is a reclaiming of the ageing body created by dance-theatre innovators Junk Ensemble. Performed by acclaimed actor Mikel Murfi and leading dance artist Finola Cronin (formerly of Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal), the performers are heroic, vulnerable, comedic and completely themselves in the work. They care fiercely for each other and defend their independence. As they hold each other up and push each other down, the "performance" of age is unpacked as a reminder of ourselves: our worst and our best.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Most shows I've seen this year gave me some feeling of pleasure and enjoyment, but I would say the finale of this provided the greatest emotional hit. Well done auld yins!

[An] excellent duo.

When you are of a certain age one appreciates seeing dance by people who are of a similar age. The moves are slower, more deliberate, and often more playful. This is a well-constructed and executed piece of dance, with some appropriate words and poetry. Enchanting.
