art and technology has fuelled a
string of truly unique works.
FAR is no exception.
Inspired by the controversial Age
of Enlightenment, FAR mines an
era that first placed ‘a body in
question’. Ten incredible dancers
confront the distortions, sensuality
and feeling of the 18th Century’s
searing contemporary sensibility to
a haunting score by the critically-
acclaimed composer Ben Frost.
Staged in a mesmerizing
environment of shadow and light,
FAR binds cutting edge design with
choreography made from a radical
cognitive research process.

         about in his untidy garage, indifferent
         to the fact that his wife is being driven
         to distraction and beyond by his
         possessive mother. The hidden tension
         and antagonisms under an apparently
         normal surface build up to a climax of
         bizarre violence and madness.
