What's On

VISTA
 

A brand new work from one of Australia’s most acclaimed choreographers, Stephanie Lake Company’s (Manifesto, Colossus, The Chronicles), VISTA is a dance in two halves, bound by a pulsing through-line of rhythm, invention and design.

Act One unfolds in stark black and white, a precise, razor-edged world of dualities: doubt and faith, real and fake, crisis and triumph. Act Two detonates into colour, refracting the same reality through psychedelic glass. Structures repeat, motifs re-emerge, but everything is transformed into something lush and hallucinatory.

At its heart, VISTA wrestles with the slipperiness of perception: how one moment, conversation or event can fracture into different meanings depending on who is watching and from where.

What anchors it all is the body in extraordinary motion. Blistering dancing marries precision with abandon, musicality with poetics. With costuming by iconic Melbourne label ALPHA60 and an electrifying score by internationally acclaimed audio-visual artist Robin Fox, the dancers and collaborators conjure a shape-shifting world where monochrome discipline collides with joyful release.
