Based on first hand accounts of the “Kendal pals” of North West England who fought at the Somme, this piece of contemporary dance peers into the trauma created by war. It recreates not only the psychological fractures suffered by shell-shocked soldiers but also the difficult process of healing once battle is over.

First Acts is a series of films celebrating England's most exciting 16 - 24 year-old artists and filmmakers in partnership with the Arts Council England.
