ULTIMATE DANCER
Lite Metle // 7.30pm
If you want to know how light metal is, then listen carefully.
Total Theatre & The Place Award for Dance 2019 nominee Ultimate Dancer uses uncanny sounds, songs and recycled dances to skew reality in mystical directions, creating new worlds.
A computer can become an opera singer, can become Greta Thunberg, can become dogs biting sour trees, can become the change, can become a forever winter solstice, can become bitcoins, can become vantablack, can become romance, can go up in flames, can become a clotted blood frog, can be eaten alive and can be a complete state of mind.
Make the heaviest world light again.
Commissioned by The Yard Theatre. Supported through The Work Room’s Residency programme.
