DanceHouse and Vancouver New Music present the B.C. premiere of Australia’s Stephanie Lake Company’s riveting Manifesto, April 16 to 18 at 8 pm at the Vancouver Playhouse.
In a unique pairing, nine drummers and nine dancers—with backgrounds ranging from contemporary and ballet to salsa and hip hop, from jazz and metal to classical and experimental—will unite for this explosive performance, summoning a cacophonic wall of sound composed by Lake’s partner, experimental music composer Robin Fox. Set against a towering velvet curtain, the dancers and musicians evoke ancient rituals of catharsis, unleashing a sense of obliterating dynamism.
Lake has emerged as one of Australia’s most celebrated choreographers in recent years. Her compelling movement vocabulary combines meticulous control with moments of raw freedom.
A pre-show chat will take place at 7:15 pm each evening in the Upper Lobby, and a post-show social in the Salon will follow the performance on April 17.
