About Fault Lines
Incredibly beautiful and moving
Audience Member
As our planet’s voice gets louder, are we ready to listen?
Fault Lines pulls at the tension in our relationship with nature. Our constant pursuit of progress increasing the speed of life has left us out of sync with the natural world.
A scorched earth, from the rubble and the ruin the survivors emerge. A new world, a second chance. Within changing landscapes created from striking digital illustrations and evocative music, our survivors navigate the world, racing towards an unknown future.
Fault Lines explores the environmental damage we’ve inflicted but asks what happens when we stand together with hope? What will that take?
This show is touring as part of the Rural Touring Dance Initiative, a national project which supports dance artists and rural promoters to make great dance performance events happen in rural spaces.
