Ludovico Di Ubaldo and Charles Dashwood in Ihsan Rustem’s Incandescence for West Australian Ballet's Ballet at the Quarry: Incandescence, 2026. Two shirtless male dancers, one with his back to the camera. The man facing the camera tender holds the other man's head in his right hand. A line of internally illuminated PVC piping physically seperates them.
