Jarman
“A mighty spirit is about to reawaken. Yours.”
Painter, film-maker, writer, gardener, activist – killed by AIDS in 1994, Derek Jarman lived quite an extraordinary life in just 52 years. In his astonishing new solo play, Mark Farrelly revives the legendary English artist, exploring what it means to truly live life.
Jarman’s works include taboo-breaking films like Sebastiane, Jubilee and Caravaggio, pop videos for the Pet Shop Boys (It’s A Sin and Rent), his extraordinary borderless garden in Dungeness, his shocking last paintings, and his unforgettable final film Blue, consisting of a single continuous frame of blue and chronicling what it’s like to lose your sight … but never your artistic vision.
