H2 Dance: Strangers & Others (Doors open 7.45pm)


An interactive performance piece for a standing audience.

Invited to look, touch, assume and judge, the audience choose how to respond, placing themselves into lines, groups and pairs. Witnessed only by the choreographers, they use appearance, physicality and behaviour as a guide to negotiate each other as they cooperate in silence. Immersed in light and sound the space of the theatre frames the questions; who takes responsibility and when do actions have consequences? In Strangers & Others Hanna and Heidi explore socialization, tolerance, autonomy and exposure.
