Dance & Physical Theatre
Created by: Lucy Guerin Inc and Matthias Schack-Arnott
Presented by: Melbourne Fringe
: RISING
Step inside the expansive world of PENDULUM created by percussive artist sensation Matthias Schack-Arnott and globally renowned choreographer Lucy Guerin.
Tucked away inside the vaulted industrial cathedral of Docklands’ unique and beguiling Shed 21, a suite of dancers moves in sync with a field of suspended bells that hum, glow and toll in this movement-driven performance installation inspired by the ebb and flow of time.
At once a timekeeper, a metronome and an instrument of divinity, a pendulum’s hypnotic swoop keeps steady beat – and as this formidable intergenerational ensemble of women dance with time, every rise and fall reveals the strength and vulnerability of the human form.
This is a mesmerising dance with gravity that you won’t want to miss.
PLEASE NOTE:
This venue is outdoors, so please consider dress accordingly.
Audiences will be standing for the duration of the performance. There will be very limited seating available for ticket holders with access requirements. Please get in touch with the Box Office team at boxoffice@melbournefringe.com.au if you require seating or have any access queries.
