Unfit for Paradise

Based on the book by Susan Swan. Conceived, choreographed and directed by Dragu, with text adapted for performance by Jim Burt, sound by Enrico Campana, and super-8 film and slides by six photographers. The Luscious Limbo Dancers were Elizabeth Chitty, Jane Ellison and Margaret Dragu. Dragu had first introduced herself to the Western Front in 1977 when she and her partner Enrico had asked if they could throw a dinner party at which they wanted to take slides for a performance. As this has always been one of both Dragu’s and the Front’s favourite working techniques, there was an immediate meeting of the minds.
