Underland
September 27 & 28, 2013, 8PM
Vancouver Playhouse
Originally created for the Sydney Dance Company, Underland is a sexy, enigmatic fusion of dance, music, and visual imagery inspired by the dark and bittersweet songs of Australian balladeer Nick Cave. Dancers hurl through space with razor sharp precision, fiercely energized one moment, sensually lyrical the next. The triptych of video screens provides a cinematic backdrop to the work, the mood of which shifts in rhythm with Cave’s music throughout this frenetically energised dance piece.
