choreographer:
Michael Greyeyes
Dancers: Claudia Moore, Sean Ling, Ceinwen Gobert, Luke Garwood, Shannon Litzenberger, Michael Caldwell
A world premiere from director and choreographer Michael Greyeyes and his company, Signal Theatre, set in limbo where six characters search for meaning at the end of their lives, as they face their deepest fears, most cherished memories and each other. This dance theatre production brings together two contemporary Aboriginal artists for the first time: Michael Greyeyes and acclaimed writer Yvette Nolan. Together, they examine mortality, memory and forgiveness, lensed through contemporary dance expression, confronting head on the reality that only when the veil of our mortality is finally removed can we see ourselves and each other truthfully.
Michael Greyeyes' works have been described as "...disturbing and beautiful", The Coast, Halifax and "...eye-opening and riveting", Stages, www.What's Up Yukon.com Allison Mayes, Winnipeg Free Press, May 10th, 2009
