DIG: James Batchelor and Collaborators (AUSTRALIA) | HYPERSPACE

Part of Dance International Glasgow 

UK PREMIERE

From the human body to the cosmos, HYPERSPACE is an inquiry into the metrics we use to measure the deep unknowns of the universe. It proposes a study of the human body seen through the prism of cosmology, a mapping of the universe within and around it. The interior and exterior landscapes of the body are deconstructed, producing a self-critique of the masculine body and its dominance in space exploration. In HYPERSPACE, the fleshy material of the body bends, stretches and is reconfigured as alien transmutation, appearing simultaneously colossal and microscopic. 

HYPERSPACE is the third in a series of works from James Batchelor and his collaborators that grew from a unique opportunity to be part of a scientific expedition to study sub-Antarctic islands in 2016.

ACCESS: This production is good for Subpacs
Audio Described by by Bek Berger + Touch Tour (both FRIDAY ONLY)
