Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth, the world's first post-cinematic choreographic installation, refracts, evolves and reimagines dance performance in a startlingly original new form of experience.
Set within Jeffrey Shaw and Sarah Kenderdine’s radically immersive, panoramic, 360-degree stereoscopic, 12k LED, 26-million-pixel nVis screen, where 3D imagery is experienced within an enveloping, large-scale cylindrical architecture of eight metres wide and four metres tall. Created in collaboration with artists Ravi Deepres and Theresa Baumgartner, and combining dance, choreography, digital imaging, spatialised sound, and AI, McGregor once again redefines how we think about movement, the body, and performance.
On The Other Earth breaks the fourth wall as visitors are invited into the heart of the dance, connecting in close contact with the hyperreal dancers of Company Wayne McGregor and the Hong Kong Ballet in a physicalised sound environment designed by Invisible Mountain. Never encountered in the same way twice, groups of up to 20 people will experience On The Other Earth’s visual and sonic landscapes unfolding before them in a series of thought-provoking otherworldly encounters and intimate interplay, upending our perceptions of performance and the future of entertainment.
Flashing lights are used in this performance, the run time is 57 minutes.
The performance is recommended for ages 10 and over due to its immersive and sensory nature, rather than content concerns. Attendance is at guardians' discretion. Children under the age of 6 will not be permitted.
