It begins in darkness

It begins in darkness is a dance full of ghosts: an environment for processing the fear, anger and confusion which arise from the histories of slavery and colonialism that haunt the present.

In this stark, stripped back performance, five dancers move through mysterious and experimental rites of passage, channeling past, present and future tensions through their bodies and voices. As if to exorcise the haunted house of history, the dancers whisper, jump, wrestle, shiver, wail and laugh, filling the space with horrors, both real and imagined.
