A whimsical journey unveiling the palpable moments before the curtain rises and the performance begins.
This award-winning immersive contemporary dance work disrupts the theatrical norms, allowing spectators a glimpse backstage into the intricate tapestry of a private moment, amplifying the seemingly mundane.
OVERTURE pulls back the curtain, inviting us to see the art before the art – a portrayal of the lives, dreams, torments of all those involved in the creation of a show.
What defines performance – Is it merely the audience’s presence, or could it encompass the moments before and after ‘the show’? Perhaps life itself could be considered a perpetual performance, blurring the lines of identity and reality. An overture where the first note is the final…how do we define beginning and end?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The List UK – “A real treat for dance fans and those who’re dipping their toes in the water of dance alike.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adelaide Antics – “It is a performance that doesn’t just entertain, it challenges, provokes and lingers long after the curtain call.”
