Dancenorth Australia brings RED to RISING Festival as part of the inaugural Australian Dance Biennale this 3-7 June.
About RED
RED is an uncompromising duet set inside a large transparent inflatable dome – a modern parable of two bodies moving within a world that can no longer sustain them.
As air slowly disappears, their plight becomes an allegory for a rapidly contracting world.
RED exposes a stark metaphor for our age: a world at its limits, where ecological crises are bound together and bodies must adapt to survive within failing systems.
Epic, poetic and intimate, RED illuminates the challenge of preserving our humanity in a world under pressure.
