A Triple Bill:

Air and Other Invisible Forces
A dramatic and powerful work by Graeme Murphy, one of Australia’s greatest choreographers. Journeys with unknown endings, gods who dwell in the everyday, doors that open onto nothingness, chance encounters that change everything and consequently everything before... These are the intangibles that propel this incredible work.

Slow Haunt
Helpmann Award nominee Melanie Lane is a Javanese-Australian performer and choreographer who has worked extensively throughout Australia, Asia and Europe. Joining forces with electronic musician CLARK, who will create original music for this performance, Lane will set the stage alight with a new work made especially for this season.

GAINSBOURG
Sleek misfits. A smokey French bistro. Serge Gainsbourg. WAB dancer and choreographer Adam Alzaim serves us a new work in his signature style of astute physical humour. GAINSBOURG is a West Australian Ballet original work not to be missed.
