Lien - A dancer waits to perform

Lien

Dance • Interactive
South Australia

A new one-on-one performance that embodies the beauty of human connection and the power of shared moments. In the gentle embrace of solitude, Lien emerges as a testament to community and empathy, born as an antidote to the distancing and isolation that has shaped our recent history.

In this intimate exchange, one audience member and one dancer come together on an otherwise empty stage for a singular ten-minute encounter that will never be repeated. A spontaneous performance guided by the tender conversation that unfolds in the preceding moments; a gift to the audience member and a performance that no one else will ever witness: shared performance as a deeply personal, spiritual event.
