Details

Motionhouse Theatre are celebrated for their intensely physical choreography danced with style and abandon, stunning sets and a unique theatrical vision. Captive is an exciting blend of dance, acrobatics and aerial work, performed inside a large cage. It was inspired by the poem The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke which explores themes of captivity. The show has been designed to appeal to both newcomers to dance theatre and existing fans and has attracted praise from previous attendees. Performed by four dancers in a rocking tubular structure, Underground uses stunningly physical dance, poignant imagery and surprising aerial encounters to explore the new reality of train travel: the compressed intimacy of a crowded carriage; the crush of personal space; the studied ignoring of our fellow humans and the fear of a dangerous stranger. Travellers are thrown together in an unlikely alliance as graffiti artists paint their love in motion. Suspended at odd angles and riding the rhythm of the train, four characters are constantly drawn together then torn apart. Motionhouse Dance Theatre - Captive/Underground website.
