Five years ago the last of the world’s ice disappeared. A year after that the sport of ice dancing went with it.
Tonight Heap Krusiak and Pebble Adverati, the greatest ice dancers the world has ever known, will attempt to bring back what the world took away. Against all the odds, they will compete to prove that they will not be beaten. As they face the greatest challenge of their careers, the world is watching.
This is their incredible story, the story of sportsmen and women who never say die, the story of friendship and love when everything else has disappeared, and the story of how we cope when our environment stops providing us with what we need.
‘Brilliant… it's intelligent and rather poignant, too, in the way it shows two people beaming with misguided optimism in the face of calamity. Like all of us, Heap and Pebble just carry on regardless; their fixed smiles never slip even as the polar ice cap melts’ Guardian
Following the success of 21:13, Dancing Brick is excited to present the company’s second smash-hit show, a beautiful play about loss, love, human survival and ice dance.
Developed at BAC, the play was premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe where it won the Arches Brick Award 2009 and where the company was nominated and shortlisted for the Total Theatre Award in the Emerging Company category.
