FIVE:EIGHT
On a stark, empty stage, bodies fall, rise, fall and rise again in an endless, thumping cycle. They dance, writhe, flail, howl – in an attempt to seduce, to connect, to claw their own skins off. Lone figures emerge and dissolve, consumed by a wide-eyed search for attention and validation, with all the ruthless charm of the clickbait generation. A stifling silence descends into a wall of sound and fury.
“I haven’t seen anything quite like this show in a long time, maybe ever. Its effect is hypnotic, dreamy, playful, and in the end,kinda rousing.”
