World Premiere

Bonachela/Linder

New Creations

A new work by Rafael Bonachela, 6 Breaths, is set to a newly commissioned score by Italian composer Ezio Bosso. Plus, for the first time in Australia, Sydney-born artist Adam Linder will create and perform in ARE WE THAT WE ARE. This young artist, currently based in Berlin, boasts a remarkable dance career in Europe.

ARE WE THAT WE ARE is a physical exploration into the existence of altered states of consciousness within human experience.  Embodying arcane states of otherness, this work investigates mysticism and spirituality, rapture and trance states, psychedelia and sexuality, to expose realms of awareness beneath the surface of everyday reality.  By illuminating the potential of the body to transcend the conscious self, we are asked to question what lies beyond ordinary rational consciousness.
