Synopsis
Synopsis

A simmering tension brought to the fore— an eruption, an implosion. Man finds himself amidst a jungle of steel and concrete while the natural world decays and global chaos threatens to upend. Look out, look carefully; what do you see?


After a successful virtual reality (VR) adaptation and tour during the pandemic, and a performance run in London last year, PheNoumenon returns to its premiere stage with a renewed invitation to look in, closely. Step into a world imbued with memories, destabilised by our present, and marred by consequences: PheNoumenon promises you a dystopian portrait that is startlingly resonant, and reflective of the social, spatial, political, technological, and environmental dynamics of our time.

Advisory:

Latecomers will only be admitted at suitable points, if any. There will be no re-admission for this performance.

 

This programme features an immersive audience seating arrangement. You are advised to dress comfortably. Haze effects and extremely loud, high-pitched sounds will be used in the performance.

 

This venue is wheelchair-accessible. If you require support to access the venue, are pregnant, or have mobility or related issues and would like to request to reserve a chair, please get in touch with us at festival@the-dancecompany.com.

 

There will be a post-show dialogue after the performance on 15 & 16 Jun.
