Scottish Dance Theater: Dreamers

Date: Oct 31-Nov 1 - 7:30 pm

Venue: Shanghai International Dance Center

The performance contains the following two parts. Dreamers are people who dare to dream while not being asleep. Lachky takes pleasure in making sense from nonsense and exploring links between reality and surrealism. His work is developed around the unique physicality of the performers, highlights the beauty and power of the moving body and intertwines it with his quirky and humorous style. A sensory experience transforming dancers into sleek, androgynous, nocturnal beings guided through shadows by a futuristic techno soundtrack. Pulsating movements capture the universal drive of striving for fulfillment and release. This darkly delightful combination of cutting-edge choreography and club culture leaves you feeling its grip long after the piece is over.
