IMAGO is a must-see work of contemporary dance at its highest calibre!
Captivating to watch, this duet exposes the intricate and often hidden dysfunctions in relationships within a coded nod to the Language of Flowers.
Through twelve ever-changing chapters, IMAGO depicts a profound journey of two men as they navigate environments of duplicity, denial, and acceptance, culminating in an ending left for the audience to determine.
IMAGO brings to light our nature to obscure the truth with beauty, in fear of being hurt or in fear of having to accept.
A deeply moving and insightful exploration of the human condition that will leave a pondering on its themes long after the performance has ended.
Its triad of a compelling narrative, stirring original score by Sean Pett, and electrifying dance performance make IMAGO a gripping experience for audiences within and beyond the dance field.
