★★★★★ “momenta is an electric and arresting celebration of light and life that feels almost sacred in its reverence for the power of the body to connect and communicate.”
ABOUT THE SHOW
The connection is instinctive. The moment is transformational.
Sydney Dance Company dancers transcend physical limitations; they explore the full range of their bodies with grace, power and vulnerability. The movement is rich with rhythmical and spatial patterning. Each moment resonates through space, drawing the audience into a world of raw emotion.
Through the captivating interplay of Bonachela’s signature choreographic style, Nick Wales’ evocative soundscapes, Elizabeth Gadsby’s arresting set design and Damien Cooper’s striking lighting, momenta gathers the hurtling vectors of our lives into confluence and connection. For audiences and dancers alike, it is an invitation to rejoice in the beauty and fragility of our shared humanity.
