What is it like when you lose yourself to love?
Two partners. They struggle to remember who they were before the first flush of love took hold. When an amorphous collective, deemed “The Void”, encounters the pair in liminal spaces, each partner faces their individual identity. This contemporary dance experience is for viewers who question the bridge between spirituality and emotional connection.

Reviews
“The choreography is intense, intricate, complex and unexpected. And it is interpreted with a sophisticated acumen and effortless fluidity by the ensemble of highly-skilled dancers. […] One thing was abundantly clear: all were wowed by what they had just seen.”
