Sungrazers:: The One(s) Who Never Lived

Jason Martin

The One(s) Who Never Lived

This dance piece invites the audience to reflect on the fragility of human relationships in an increasingly physically alienated world. On stage, the performers move between creation and destruction, discipline and collapse. Their mechanical, synchronised gestures are reminiscent of industrial processes and oscillate between distance and the desire for (re)connection.

 

The work creates a space in which the effects of isolation, collective exhaustion and the impulse towards resistance or rapprochement can be physically experienced. The dialogue between the natural and the industrial, the human and the mechanical, reveals the coexistence of these opposites and reflects the shared experiences that arise from them.
