Intimacy – Torque Show and Malthouse Helium

Overview

The second production on the lineup for Malthouse Theatre's 2014 Helium program, Intimacy tells the story of Michelle Ryan, a dancer diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 30. The show will be a fictionalised version of real life events and performed by Ryan herself. Devised by Torque Show, the piece will feature a live score by Lavender vs. Rose and will no doubt continue the hybridity of the Helium program with some inclusion of dance.

Now in its third year, Malthouse Theatre's Helium is a celebration of independent theatre-makers and original ideas; the realms of high and low culture coming into proper alignment. Partnering up with Next Wave and the Melbourne Fringe for certain productions, this year's initiative from the highly respected Malthouse Theatre is quickly building momentum and looks to be a major player in this year's already bustling cultural program.

Intimacy runs August 13 – 23, tickets available via Malthouse Theatre.
