"TRULY MERITS THE TERM SUBLIME... THEATRICAL MAGIC AND THE SHEER WONDER OF THE LIVING BODY." RealTime
PRESENTED BY ARTS HOUSE, HELEN HERBERTSON AND BEN COBHAM
Inside a landscape of isolation and absence, two dancers inhabit a series of interconnected, physical scenes. A dense interrelationship of body/ landscape, people/place mixes with the glorious sounds of live cello and violin in an intimate performance experience rich with resonance.
Long time collaborators Helen Herbertson and Ben Cobham join forces with some of Australia’s finest artists in a performance structure to challenge their collaborative history. Ever changing, unique to each performance, an active score unfolds and adjusts in front of you. Like a dream half remembered, a future half imagined, Sunstruck is a poetic elegy for light, dance and sound to slide into the imagination.
