Am I – Sydney Festival
Shaun Parker & Company present the world premiere of their futuristic new music and dance collaboration.
Overview
Fans of Australian dance innovators Shaun Parker & Company will want to check out the world premiere of their new piece, Am I in the upcoming Sydney Festival.
In a highly visual, theatrical piece, 14 musicians and dancers, including guest artist Shantala Shivalingappa (who's worked with Pina Bausch and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui), join forces to create the world of Am I a near future in which seven individuals seek to create a new world order. As they examine the weaknesses and mistakes of the past, religion collides with science, harmony with disorder. Composer Nick Wales steps up for the company again to create an original soundscape combining world music and cult-like singing.
You may have seen the company’s highly popular Happy as Larry at the Seymour Centre, or more recently, witnessed them tumbling their way across Sydney’s playgrounds in SPILL. If you’ve never seen their work, this could be a good time to get acquainted with a local company making some pretty exhilarating stuff.
