Exclusively for DIG, VOID is re-staged site specifically under the M74 motorway.

“As we drive across a motorway intersection, through the elaborately signaled landscape that seems to anticipate every possible hazard, we glimpse triangles of waste ground screened off by a steep embankments. What would happen if, by some freak mischance, we suffered a blow-out and plunged over the guard-rail onto a forgotten island of rubble and weeds, out of sight of the surveillance cameras?
Modern technology offers an endless field-day for any deviant strains in our personalities. Marooned on a traffic island, we can tyrannise ourselves, test our strengths and weaknesses, perhaps come to terms with aspects of our characters to which we have always closed our eyes .”
J.G Ballard, Concrete Island Introduction [1974]

VOID is Mele Broomes' first solo dance piece, meshed within video-augmented scenography and glitchy visual landscapes created from obsolete hardware feedback. Taking in typically Ballardian themes of dystopian worlds, liminal spaces and urban paranoia, Broomes performs risk taking choreography to the backdrop of an industrial soundscape.

Please note: This show takes place outdoors, please dress warm. Actual performance is in a waterproof location.
