Marion Coutts / No Evil Star Jan Wade & Vannessa Richards / Jazz Slace Ships Whitness I Burn
No Evil Star is a decline and fall; epic in scale and minute in actuality.The piece was filmed on a small handmade clay diorama.A cast of hundreds of mealworms colonise the diorama; a super-race of giants in a unearthly terrain.It is a world in extremis,an elegiac widescreen vision of a landscape slowly sinking into darkness,its inhabitants overwhelmed.

No Evil Star takes elements from Westerns,dinosaur spectaculars,Biblical epics,and its sombre key from Géricault ’s ‘The Raft of the Medusa ’.The piece uses a Darwinian trope,that of enormous forces endlessly struggling for existence and makes that,and the mysterious dying of the light,the action of the film.

No Evil Star has an original score by the composer Andy Moor.
