Motionhouse - Broken

Friday 01-11-2013 20:00

APPROX RUNNING TIME: 70 minutes (no interval)

Minimum Age Recommendation: 8

Broken is Motionhouse's newest visually thrilling touring production, in which Artistic Director Kevin Finnan continues his exploration of elemental themes.Building on the success of their critically acclaimed best seller Scattered, which explored the themes of water, Broken takes the theme of the earth and investigates our precarious relationship with it through our internationally lauded dance and film integration. Finnan questions our ambivalence towards our wonderful world, that is, until disaster strikes.

Using multiple layers of scrolling film and Motionhouse's highly physical dance style Broken creates an intriguing computer game-esque world of tunnels and burrows, shifting perspectives and see-sawing slopes and platforms. Hanging in suspense, diving for support and scrambling to safety, the dancers negotiate the cracks and craters of the world of illusions where nothing is quite as it seems.

Designed by long-term collaborator Simon Dormon, with projections courtesy of international digital innovators Logela Multimedia, Broken will be an unashamedly visual spectacle: ravishing, delicate and poignant, taking the audience on a journey into the earth as they never seen it before.
