ABOUT
Dark Matter is a dance work about emerging from the dark into the light, exploring space, entering the unknown, defying the impossible. It’s about creating the future where nobody needs to chant they matter because it’s as logical as physics. Dark Matter is a rebellious, revelling relief, an explosion of a reality that too often is neatly organised on the walls of white cubes and black theatre wings, within the rigid boundaries of these frames. Dark Matter is a celebration of bodies escaping through creative expression after centuries of oppression, blooming into the light with love, anger, passion, and life. This works pays homage to the lives of trans and queer bodies that have been brutally murdered due to homophobia and a society that does not accept the beauty and existence of these beings.
