Rafael Bonachela’s ab [intra], acclaimed as “contemporary dance at its most evocative and beautiful” (Time Out ★★★★) returns for a very special encore season direct from a sell-out European tour in 2019.

ab [intra], meaning ‘from within’ in Latin is “an exploration of our primal instincts, our impulses and our visceral responses”, says choreographer Rafael Bonachela. From tenderness to turmoil, ab [intra] is a journey of intense human existence that will command your attention.

The music fuses lush cello with ambient electronica and the exquisite dancers occupy a visually arresting ethereal world. This is a ferociously physical and heartfelt piece which will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.

Don’t miss this electrifying journey showcasing Australia’s best contemporary dancers.

★★★★ “Bold… impressive athleticism and energy… has to be seen to be believed.”  The Sydney Morning Herald
