Details

Chunky Moves is Australia's high voltage dance company with an international reputation for interested technophiles. Mortality, sexuality, and desire are central themes in Mortal Engine, which receives its European premiere at the Festival. Lasers and video projections respond to the dancers as they move to create an ever-shifting, shimmering world of illusion where light and shade represent the most perfect or the most sinister of souls. The dancers trigger light patterns and sounds that appear to take on a life of their own. While the scenes are always in the same order, the work is truly live every night, unpredictable and ever changing. Australian contemporary dance group Chunky Move has a reputation for producing performances which make innovative use of new technology to create bold new worlds. Please note: This production contains smoke, laser and strobe lighting effects and loud volume audio. Run time approx 1 hour. Dedicated to the memory of Sir John Drummond.
