Choreolab / What You Are About To See

In the first part of this double bill, four dancers from our company present their own short choreographies under the name Choreolab. In part two we give the floor to head of the dance répétiteurs Ana Maria Lucaciu and her creation What You Are About To See.

CHOREOLAB

Allison McGuire creates the solo Hadal Zone in which we dive into the deepest region of the ocean. There lives a creature that is twisted and vulnerable, shaped by the extremes of the ocean.

Charles Antoni, in and i'll bring you flowers, explores the grieving process and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. Six characters struggle with the absence that is always present.

In Figures in Flight, Shane Urton reinterprets the myth of Icarus. Inspired by Panamarenko – and with an original sculpture by the celebrated artist on stage – this dance theatre work interweaves homesickness, ambition and failure with a playful mix of humour and melancholy.

.zero is inspired by geometric or monochrome art. From her new zero point, Louiza Avraam explores the endless richness within simple lines, shapes and surfaces.

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE

What happens when you have prepared everything down to the last detail, but nothing goes according to plan? With What You Are About To See, Ana Maria Lucaciu creates a 'disastrous' performance about a world that is completely out of control and inevitably confronts us with the need for adaptability, acceptance, flexibility, humour and the ability to let go.
