Void - T01722500266World Premiere. A new dance and audio-visual collaboration by V/DA based on JG Ballard's Concrete Island "As we drive across a motorway intersection, through the elaborately signalled landscape that seems to anticipate every possible hazard, we glimpse triangles of waste ground screened off by a steep embankments. What would happen if, by some freak mischance, we suffered a blow-out and plunged over the guard-rail onto a forgotten island of rubble and weeds, out of sight of the surveillance cameras? Modern technology offers an endless field-day for any deviant strains in our personalities. Marooned on a traffic island, we can tyrannise ourselves, test our strengths and weaknesses, perhaps come to terms with aspects of our characters to which we have always closed our eyes ." 'J.G Ballard, Concrete Island Introduction [1974]. VOID unleashes gymnastic-infused choreography trapped within a mesh of self-generating video landscapes.Choreographer Melanie Forbes-Broomes.
