c'mon baby fight! fight! fight!
Driven by a belief in our ability to overcome all the odds if only you want to badly enough, C’mon Baby Fight! Fight! Fight! is a duet performed in clubs by two members of Blast Theory. It is a small intense work which burst out into club environments attempting to purge demons, to overcome the power of darkness on our imaginations and a futile attempt to play at overcoming death as you can only do in the movies.
Inspired by a sequence in the film The Abyss, where the Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio character dies in order to save the Ed Harris character’s life and is then miraculously brought back to life and by an essay by Ptolemy Tompkins in Screen Violence, C’mon Baby Fight! Fight! Fight! was performed in Capture an evening of film and performance at Milch in London in 1997 and at Club Spotter in Trans Europa, Hildesheim, Germany in 1997.
