Overflow

Choreography: Alexander Whitley

Digital technology, now a seemingly indispensable part of modern life, is radically transforming how we experience and act in the world. Overflow considers how our desires, fantasies and vulnerabilities are powerfully influenced by social platforms and explores what lurks beneath our compulsions to check, share and like. The production seeks to connect with the tensions and the strangeness of life in this qualitatively new paradigm of media and communication. The key relationship of the piece is the one between the performers and a kinetic light sculpture created by Children of the Light. A five-metre long LED bar that moves around the stage, creating distinct spaces, energies and environments in which the six performers are situated.
