LULLABY
A striking dance theatre production with a cast of three dynamic and committed young male dancers which explores progressively friendship, joshing, friction, needling and aggressive behavior, and the dynamics of mediation between bickering factions.
Lullaby provides a thought-provoking and contemporary metaphor for current international politics.
How I wished during those sleepless hours that I belonged to a different nation,
or better still, to none at all.
Is constant movement the solution?
Between night and day, is there still a lullaby that can comfort me?
How I wished during those sleepless hours that I woke up from a bad dream.
Is constant laughter the solution?
Between night and day, is there a moment of relief we still can find comfort in?
“… Panta Rei, go right to the heart (again) of pressing social and personal issues with an honesty which is startling.”
Tim Smithies, Carn to Cove
