The Cost of Living

Choreographed and directed by Lloyd Newson, it is the fourth film by DV8, whose work is about taking risks aesthetically and communicating ideas and feelings clearly and unpretentiously.

David and Eddie are street performers struggling to get by in a seaside town. Eddie is tough, confrontational and not afraid to defend his belief in justice, respect and honesty. David is a dancer who has no legs, quietly determined not to let his disabilities or society's prejudices get in his way.

We follow them as they work, argue, fail at romance and fall out with old friends, in a film (part dance film, part drama) on how we value ourselves and other people. It is structured as a series of inter-linked scenes of the two main characters' encounters with other people; some are incredibly hard-hitting, others exhilarating because of their sheer physicality.
