Weather – Lucy Guerin Inc

Overview

It’s hard to imagine something more topical to Melbourne than a piece about weather. Raging winds, blinding rain, glorious sunshine: who knows which, or indeed how many, of these you’ll get on your way to the theatre this Melbourne Festival but you can expect them all to be represented on stage in the latest work from renowned Australian choreographer Lucy Guerin.

Exploring humanity’s relationship to the elements, Weather is Guerin’s first pure dance piece in a while, as opposed to the dance / theatre blend in many of her recent works.  Her troupe will be performing at maximum intensity and it can’t be any less than spectacular.  With a score by Oren Ambarchi and set design by the acclaimed Robert Cousins, it also represents a perfect storm of creative talent.    Audiences can rightly expect to be blown away when Weather’s world premiere hits the Malthouse this week.
