Metaxu

A modern dance piece conceived and designed by Alan Corbishley and choreographed by Mara Branscombe and music/sound design by Chris Bose.

Based on the philosophy of Simone Weil; Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but it is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.

“Conceptual blends create dance magic!…two dancers shape shifted into one during an innovative dance performance . . . It wasn’t magic – not the paranormal sort, at least – but a conceptual blend of movement, light, sound and video that created the powerful illusion in Metaxu.”  (Kamloops Daily News)
