World Premiere
ALLENYE DANCE
BONDED
BONDED, explores the construct of human dependency – especially that of siblings – and how time and external conditions can affect the synergetic connection. Performed by twin sisters, Kristina and Sade, the work takes the audience through a transitional journey of inter-and-independency.
World Premiere
ALTERED STATES/ MARC PARRY
THE INVISIBLE MAN
The man who isn’t there! A living, breathing science experiment gone wrong. Witness the scientific marvel, learn how he came to (not!) be as he explores his new powers, be warned you may see more (or less) than you bargained for!
World Premiere
BEADY EYE
MEARTH MOTHERS
MEarth MOthers are a trio of climate clowns in extraordinary costumes. Why are we wrecking the world? What are we going to do about it? The MOthers have a physical, fungal response through comedy, music, dance and shamanic ritual.
DAMAEDANCE
IRMÃ – SISTER
IRMÃ-sister is an exhilarating, cutting-edge exploration of the beauty and challenges of our relationships with one another. Complex and thought-provoking, IRMÃ challenges preconceptions about women’s on stage, celebrating their power and ultimately portraying women, who have weight, can sustain weight but also vulnerability.
World Premiere
FAR FROM THE NORM
GOOD YOUTES WALK
GOOD YOUTES WALK unravels how the youth of today are reclaiming their future and want to address the nations divide, transcending race, class, gender and geography.
“We are divided by our experiences and our values but, change is coming.”
GRAVITY & LEVITY
WHY?
Why? is both a tender and exhilarating aerial duet exploring themes of life, loss, surrender and acceptance in a soft and moving way. It is performed in two parts, to a powerfully haunting commissioned sound score, with spoken word interspersed throughout the piece.
JASON SIGNH
THE HIDDEN MUSIC OF TREES
The Hidden Music of Trees is an augmented reality outdoor installation by sound artist Jason Singh. Audiences can experience music that has been generated entirely by trees through the interface of mobile phones and a free downloadable app called Artivive.
World Premiere
LASTHEATRE
THE RASCALLY DINER
Everybody clap your pans – it’s time for The Rascally Diner! Cook up a stink as part of Rufus Skumskins O’Parsleys’ kitchen crew or bring a pot to bang and ward off evil cakes in this fun-filled, messy performance about food.
SIMPLE CYPHER
ROLL PLAY
Prepare to be amazed by the explosive tricks and artful dexterity of Simple Cypher as three performers blur the boundaries between hip hop and circus through a series of playful interactions challenging identity, status and societal roles.
