| Description |
Official Size Five is a haunting, beautiful and abstract work. Combining film and dance, it is inspired by the controversy that surrounded the late footballer Justin Fashanu. It was conceived by Wilton’s Artist in Residence, Noel Wallace and is performed with aerialist Augusts Dakteris. |

| Further Information |
The piece is led by a film directed by Noel and shot by David McCormick. Solo dance sequences are interwoven with clashing, iconic documentary footage. Legends such as Jean Michel Basquiat, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, James Baldwin and Langston Hughes, are brought together producing a unique narrative in support of Fashanu's story. The film is enhanced by live dance that is both symbolic and ethereal.
