Candid, controversial and very clever (dance) theatre. Concrete Playground
A co-production by Force Majeure and Sydney Theatre Company Never Did Me Any Harm
Dance and theatre combine in this timely dispatch from the frontlines of modern parenthood
From award-winning dance theatre company Force Majeure comes a riveting dissection of what it means to be a parent in today's Australia. Featuring a mixed cast of actors and dancers, Never Did Me Any Harm is a powerful melding of theatre and movement, a compelling work that speaks to our everyday anxieties and concerns.
On a stage recreating a suburban Australian backyard, seven performers transition from parent to child and back again in a series of captivating vignettes incorporating monologues and dance interludes, interwoven with inspired digital projection work and audio of real-life interviews with parents and children.
