Colossus – Perth Festival

Colossus
Stephanie Lake Company

Presented in collaboration with WAAPA and STRUT Dance.

Fifty dancers flood the stage, filling the theatre with a living, breathing, joyous mass of dancing bodies, moving in intricate unison and wild individuality. They coexist in perfect imperfection, illustrating the push and pull of humanity and the exquisite patterning found in the natural world.

Riveting and hypnotic, Colossus is an epic and exhilarating dance work that explores the beauty and the ugliness of the collective experience. As complex patterns ripple through the heaving throng, a single movement triggers a chain reaction wheeling the fragile whole from chaos to order as it builds towards a united, dizzying climax.
