| Description |
Lauren feels weird about feeling lonely. Jimi feels weird he isn't a woman. Tara feels weird she is a woman. Josh never really feels Australian enough. From two of dance and theatre's most unflinching makers comes a daring and darkly humorous exploration of identity in the age of social media. Complexity of Belonging peers into the lives of nine interconnected people as they grapple with the question: how and where do I belong? Nationality, gender, sexuality, and history collide and fragment on stage in this audacious theatrical expose of the daily trials of surviving in a hyper-connected, hyper-sensitive, globalised society. It's "boundary-pushing choreographic theatre that displays the highest level of artistry" (The Age). It's an outside take on Australia. It's also an insider take on the 21st century. |
