It's here! The brilliant response piece by Birmingham-based artist @Mohammed Ali Aerosol to the story of Shakespeare's Othello - created as part of our partnership with English Touring Theatre on #TheOthelloProject
In the artist's words:
"Out of all Shakespeare's work this is my favourite, so I went all out on this. Using a location I've been meaning to use for a while in inner-city Sparkbrook Birmingham, just half an hour from Shakespeare's birthplace. I created a visual ar...ts response, producing this short film in a run-down urban setting with actors, hazer machines, theatrical lighting and beautiful cinematography from No More Blue Mondays.
The narrative may only be understood by those who know the story of Othello, but I am sure others will take something from it. I will withhold from sharing the narrative of this piece I put together and let the audience take what they can from it."
