Who or what is real?

Asa exchanges between a dysfunctional couple, their next door neighbour and an unexplained child become increasingly surreal, an apcalyptic ' city of the mind' is revealed. The result is an exhilerating mystery that explores urban life, the threat from the outside, and the nature of fiction itself.

Something Blew

is a response to current lifestyle choices we have noticed. As young people who are in the midst of sexual relationships and finding companionships, we were intrigued by the old English proverb "something old, somthing new, something borrowed something blue". For this work we have explored the facets about what colour blue represents; Purity, love modesty and fidelity. Something Blew invites us into a series of complications within relationships regarding confusion about sexuality, perversity, isolation and inner-turmoil. Over the 60 minutes our seven dancers will unfold every portion of how modern society accepts sexual freedom, adultery and betrayal and how this contradicts, neglects and abuses the origins of the ancient saying.
Season: October 28 - November 6.

Our Town

A small American town like any other, simple, sleepy and cheerful. People here are like people anywhere else:they are born, they fall in love, they die. Ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Or so we might believe, until the Stge Manger - our guide for the evening - takes us on a tour of the town and we begin to glimpse how extraordinary even the most ordinary of lives can be.
Sliding between the past, the present and the future, we follow George and Emily - one of the most winsome couples in theatrical history - as they grow up, fall in love, marry and start their own family.
