Brightness

AUGUST 22-24 2024 INDance season Sydney Dance Company

BOOK NOW!

An evocative duet, Brightness is an invocation to our universal ties with nature.

Concluding choreographer Kristina Chan’s trilogy (A Faint Existence 2016; MOUNTAIN 2018), Brightness moves through ecological timelines contemplating microorganisms, decomposition, transformation and emergence.

Brightness is a visual and aural kaleidoscope of emergence and transformation in the natural world, drawing attention to the micro-environments that support our existence.

With striking choreography, a haunting psychedelic soundscore and nuanced conceptual design elements, Brightness draws us into a deep state of listening, into our inherent connection with nature.
