The Gallery, DMU
On TV monitors in DMU’s Gallery, you can find film works by Ella Frears and Fauve Alice, and Tom ‘n’ Rob.
Ella Frears and Fauve Alice’s ‘Heavy Bored (2021)’ is a short film, 9.05 mins Shot on 16mm in black and white, that explores boredom and intimacy in the confines of a domestic space in the city. The everyday is at once elevated and disrupted by text that cuts across each scene and resists the poetic qualities of the film stock. With a score that’s dark and poppy, Heavy Bored vibrates with that weird restless energy of being trapped indoors – an atmosphere that is at once claustrophobic and euphoric.
Tom ‘n’ Rob’s ‘Break Free’ is a captivating duet of comedic dance theatre, created by talent and friendship in its purest form. They created their first short version of this performance in 2019. They're now ready to present their new piece, exploring what two can do together that neither can do on their own. The duo's hilarious performance and choice songs will ensure that this piece leaves you smiling! Originally conceived as a live performance, the duo have created a filmic version of their performance for Leicester City Takeover.
