Faraway

Australian Dance Theatre has invited lauded choreographer Jenni Large to create a freaky fairy tale-infused fantasia in the world premiere of Faraway.

Revelling in physical extremes that have seen dancers wade through water atop eight-inch heels, Large is one of Australia’s most daring and singular choreographic voices. In this sinuous new work, the darkness of our collective dreams unfurls around the audience as they enter a nostalgic delusion that is grim, glam, scintillating and sensual.

Creatures slither from a billowing terrain tempting us as they tear apart our need for escapism, story and solace, Faraway is a menacing reverie about the shadows we must all evade. A floral and fetishistic exorcism for the darkness that lurks around us.

In Faraway, the remarkable artists of Australian Dance Theatre will guide you through a fantastical journey of the familiar - a nostalgic delusion that takes you to a far-off place that’s closer than you think.
