Exactly Red (2020)

Half a Blue Pig is the second in a series of pieces depicting culturally significant Mancunian landmarks.
In 1880, a town on the outskirts of Manchester was demolished to make way for the construction of a large reservoir. The people were displaced and rebuilt their town next to this new body of water.
In 1990, part of this reservoir was demolished in order to build a motorway. During this process builders found amongst the rubble a stone pig, broken in half. A surviving artefact from the demolished town. 
They decided to cement it to a wall as a funny joke. 
A local named Allan "Brad" Bradbury with an unrivalled sense of humour painted this new monument blue, mirroring the name of the pub on the opposite side of the road, "Ye Olde Blue Pig".
This bizarre, easily overlooked monument is a story of change, displacement, discovery, humour, and loss.

First performed on 10th March by the Trinity Laban Shapeshifter Ensemble at Blackheath Halls.

Conductor: Jamie Philips
