A Likely Distrust

Overview

“Lies bind the fabric of every human life. We are imaginatively masked, adorned with the lie, bedecked with the elegance of verbal dissimulation. To be so is the very mark of adult humanity. Or so it may seem,” (Paul J. Griffiths, 2004).

Contemporary dance company Prying Eye Productions bring you A Likely Distrust, exploring the theme of trust and its affects on close personal relationships. In today’s society many guard their true emotions out of fear and distrust. These themes and issues are explored in depth through the integration of dance, theatre and video interaction.

A Likely Distrust is actually in its second development, building upon the discoveries from their first stage development in 2009. The whole project aims to build an important collaborative language between the artists involved to assist with creating sustainable working practices for future creations and developments.  As part of the development, the group also post their processes via weekly blogs and snippets of video rehearsals. You can follow their developments via their facebook page. Otherwise you can witness the real deal - a wonderful display of skill, development and insight into deep trust issues during their month long residency at The Brisbane Powerhouse.
