North by Southwest - DV8 John

Award-winning UK company DV8 Physical Theatre returns to Madrid with their latest work, John, which again explores subjects some might see as taboo: male sexuality, drug addiction and criminality.  The company is no stranger to controversial topics.  In 2012 it brought its production Can we talk about this? raising questions around the issues of freedom of speech, censorship and Islam.

Nicolas Jackson talks with director Lloyd Newson in Madrid, shortly before the attacks in Paris, and reviews his work both in Can we talk about this? and John.
