Australian Premiere Season

Liberating the body from our everyday understanding of physics, Proximity is an immersive visual experience where the miniscule becomes massive and the singular becomes multiple.

Choreographer Garry Stewart works with Paris-based video engineer/techno whiz kid Thomas Pachoud to create an astonishing dialogue for dance and real-time video manipulation.

Nine phenomenal dancers train video cameras on each other to capture live, their ingenious physicality. The resulting effect is a breathtaking video panorama that upends the very nature of perception itself and questions our ideas of selfhood and identity.
