Léa Tirabasso | Starving Dingoes

Starving Dingoes portrays the urgency to live, furiously and passionately.
It is a race for five dancers, who through the body and its language, explore the vital, albeit brutal, necessity to stay together, like a pack of grandiose and obsessive, primitive and bestial beings.

The show delves into our potential reactions to the dysfunctional element of the group; to repair it or sacrifice it in order to save the whole. It plunges into the dreamworld of childhood; that of regained freedom, poetry, brutality and violence. It is the observation of the smallness or the depth of humanity without artifice, with a smirk, to forget time and quench our hunger for life. Because death, you know, is just around the corner.

Choreographer Léa Tirabasso has collaborated with oncologists Simone Niclou and Alex Gentry-Maharaj to create bridges between dance and science. While working on Starving Dingoes they looked at the phenomenon of the apoptosis (programmed cellular death) and questioned the notion of death, and surrendering to it.
