Dreamlogic - Phantom Limbs
Time to get Freudian and engage with your subconscious 'shadow self'.
Overview
Ready to get Freudian? Darebin Arts year-round theatre program, Speakeasy, is celebrating its third year of innovative performance with a new dance work from emerging company Phantom Limbs. Their latest work, Dreamlogic, explores the subconscious to engage with the 'shadow self'. While the subconscious is an area often studied by psychologists, this performance draws on scientific research to examine our neurological perceptions and their connections to our bodies, minds and the world around us. From founding fathers Jung and Freud to modern day neuroscience and MRI technology, the subconscious appears to be something we're endlessly fascinated by.
Dreamlogic purposefully plays with the mind, creating visual illusions with two bodies that'll leave you questioning your own eyes. Artistic duo James Welsby and Amy Macpherson have choreographed the work, which is performed by Welsby and James Andrews. This March, Phantom Limbs want you to explore the darker corners of your mind.
