Jose has been asked to compose and perform live an original soundtrack to a production ofMick Gordon’s ‘On Love’. It will be performed 16th-19th June at MR5C at the Bristol University Students’ Union. Details about the play below:

‘A life without love is not fully lived’

On Love is the product of Mick Gordon’s (Artistic Director of On Theatre Company) desire to interrogate two different kinds of love – the ‘gut-wrenching, all-consuming, adrenalin-spurting dis-ease’ and ‘responsible, simple, compassionate love’. The play explores the experiences of 24 characters in a series of interlinked monologues and duologues; the love of a father-to-be for his unborn child, a man’s inexplicable attraction to a 9 year old girl, a young woman’s discovery of love just as death stares her in the face… What defines this from any other love story is that each word is truth – an interwoven tale of love in the 21st century using simply verbatim transcript: the product of a series of interviews with people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds.

Mick Gordon’s intention was to approach this, as he does with all plays associated with On Theatre, as a Theatre Essay formed to address the philosophical question ‘How Does Love Work?’.

“An exhilarating account of love in its many guises. A collection of love stories gathered from friends and strangers, moulded together into an adventure playground of the heart.”
