And the animal remained, as ever, inside the human.

In a world ravaged by hubris, two deviant bodies take the streets of forgotten areas, seeking solace amongst the ruins of our own making. We enter a surreal territory where bodies become inconsequential and time is liquid as future, past & present intertwined. You sense deviant bodies extract the living tension between power and powerlessness, suggesting that our human state isn’t fixed but can be stretched, distorted, and reshaped.

Where soft and hard meet, there is a place where we can fall apart.

Extraction of the text is paraphrased from the essay SEEDS by Felizia Matthews.

YIELDING is a group work for two dancers and one electronic musician that together create a dreamscape for the audience to step into. The spectator is seated amongst the events, inside the space, surrounded by movement and surround sound that is visceral and intimate. The bodily expressions are magnified when the dancers come close enough for you to sense them more than look at them as the sound vibrates through your body.
