Autin Dance Theatre returns to Birmingham Fest with a brand new digital, interactive and unique experience of dance theatre, featuring an international cast of professional physical theatre performers.
An immersive mixed-bill performance which hits all the right notes, combining sheer physicality and theatrical intentions with inventive choreography:
The Longest Hour | Taksim Square | Out of touch | A Positive Life
The Longest Hour is inspired by the centenary of the First World War and more particularly by the relationships between the young soldiers on the front-line and the hope they were holding onto in the last hour before the armistice was declared. This piece is presented by Man Made Youth – Birmingham’s first independent all-male youth dance company – who won the Birmingham Fest “Newcomer of The Festival” Award last year.
Taksim Square is a poignant piece of dance theatre inspired by the popular protests in Turkey, while Out of touch reflects on the nature of touch and its physical and emotional resonance.
Autin Dance Theatre’s latest work A Positive Life follows five individuals living with HIV in a moving and life-affirming journey of acceptance.
“Autin points a finger at the stigma that stubbornly clings to this disease, but it’s the tenacious hope of HIV survivors that has a lasting resonance” londondance.com
“Autin’s vulnerability and his instinctive, almost feral approach to movement make Taksim Square impressive as an intense physical portrait of someone under duress.” Nicholas Minns (Writingaboutdance).
Tickets £10 (£7 concessions).
