“Intricate visual poetry.” Realtime Arts (for Aorta)
Stephanie Lake Company presents DOUBLE BLIND
60 minutes Powerhouse Theatre, Brisbane Powerhouse 12+yrs
A uniquely provocative new dance work, putting the dynamics of human interaction under the microscope.
What if internal conflict was made external? Inspired in part by real-world experiments on personal conscience versus the tendency to just follow orders, Double Blind sees four world-class Australian dancers twist and turn, vacillate and vibrate, and ultimately bend and break under authority.
Double Blind features original composition from internationally acclaimed audio-visual artist Robin Fox, while Stephanie Lake, one of Australia's most commanding choreographers, interrogates the perils of obedience with electricity, intricacy and grace, fuelled by an intriguing choreographic duality between highly detailed movement and anarchic spontaneity.
