The subversive wit of street dance and the technical
virtuosity of contemporary movement make a fine
cocktail, but you’ve just got to try it on ice.
Five performers turn their backs on sequins and
scorecards in favour of adrenaline-pumping athletics
and theatrical sophistication. The breathtaking
momentum of the skating body combined with the
freedom of the choreographic imagination results
in forms untethered by gravity, like lightning over a
frozen lake.
With support from
#melbfest
Canada’s Le Patin Libre is the only company in
the world to realise the possibilities opened up to
contemporary dance when a pair of ice-skates enters
the frame. The results will exhilarate.
