RITUAL is an immersive sonic dance performance, and a ritual for letting go.
A simple and powerful performance work utilising repeated actions of primitive expressions of the body. Embodied reenactments of grief, joy and exaltation are rhythmically crafted to entice and hypnotise the audience. Using sand filled bras that spill from the nipples, the performers cast a circle encasing the intimate audience for the ritual to take place. Through telepathic powers and spells, the performers release their audience from their offerings, generating a new sense of revival and catharsis.

Designed to be performed in the round for two simultaneous audiences: one participatory audience of 8 people, placed in an intimate circle where the ritual takes place; The other, spectator audience, surrounds the space in an outer ring.
