A single performer clad in all white contorts their arms and face under a hanging, blueish lightbulb. Semi-visible echoes of the performer's movements appear around them, warped and blurred.
Three vignettes of a single performer and a hanging lightbulb. Left: Arms emerge from a white t-shirt, hands creating a horned creature's head. Center: A bald performer is upside-down with their eyes bulging strangely, their hand casting a shadow across the ground. Right: A figure clasps their hands over a red-orange light.
Three vignettes of a single performer and a hanging lightbulb. Left: a silhouetted body, the blue light behind them. Center: A bald performer with their hands splayed wide, concentrating intensely on a purple bulb. Right: The performer with their head in their white shirt, an impression of their face pressing through the fabric, with a white light above.

Only Bones – Daniel Nodder

Explore a microscopic universe in this intimate and mesmerising work of nonverbal physical theatre. Join a jelly-like solo performer as they pluck creatures from evolutionary history, pushing, bending and twisting the laws of physics. The ordinary becomes extraordinary and the strange becomes familiar.
