HANNES LANGOLF:

HOW ABOUT NOW

Sat 4 Oct - 8pm

Watch trailer

A man steps out for air. Another is already there. One talks too much. One doesn’t say enough. What begins as small talk quickly spirals into a volatile game of dominance. Olivier Award nominated dancer and choreographer Hannes Langolf performs this punchy athletic drama alongside Ed Mitchell.

Performed entirely in a sealed glass box, it depicts a world where trust is fragile, and the smallest spark can set ablaze everything you’ve built.

BINARY OPPOSITION

Tue 7 & Wed 8 Oct - 8pm

Watch trailer

On stage there is a large construction that resembles two rooms with identical walls and floors. A dividing wall, with the same configuration of doors and windows.

We will play with entrances and exits, mistaken identities, extend the order of events from the drinking scene in Schrödinger, the mathematical logics of contacts from Negative Space.

Spilling from one room into the other. In one side it might snow, in the other it might rain.

In one room with our backs to the audience, the other facing front...

Simple ideas of taking scenarios from our existing work, smashing through from Negative Space into another scene from Schrödinger. There are a myriad of different scenarios that we can play with, and a bank of over 20 years of playing and presenting those ideas.

MUFUTAU YUSUF: IMPASSE

Fri 10 Oct - 8pm

Watch trailer

Impasse is a compelling exploration of ethnicity, identity, and the experience of the Black diaspora.

Mufutau Yusuf's Impasse is an attempt to understand the politics of the Black body in a contemporary western society, interrogating notions of representation, misrepresentation, and the lack of representation

Impasse is a powerful, driving, high-speed performance with a set and props that reference African immigration, and confronting the biased narratives etched onto Black bodies throughout history. These narratives, steeped in cultural imperialism, violence, exploitation, marginalisation, and powerlessness, are laid bare with raw physicality and emotional intensity.

1 DEGREE CELSIUS

BY SUNG IM HER

Tue 4 Nov - 8pm

Watch trailer

Through her signature electrifying movement style, pulsating music and dynamic light design, Sung Im Her’s exhilarating new production 1 Degree Celsius invites us to consider the question: How can art spark action in the face of the climate crisis?

Featuring seven dancers, 1 Degree Celsius looks at the topic of climate change and the effects it is having on the environment. As with all Her’s work, music and light form an essential and innovative character in the production. A new musical score has been created using data collected from rising atmospheric temperatures, and the lighting design is co-ordinated to the rising temperature of the earth.
