Fireflies at Dawn
Weaving together threads of inclusivity, connection and self-expression, Unbound Dance Theatre investigate how and why we move and dance. This enchanting show shares the lived experiences of the company’s visually impaired and sighted dancers, revealing how life’s encounters are felt, remembered, and stored in the body. Witness the power of vulnerability and the strength found in our search for connection in this emotional and sensory show.
The show uses embedded audio description, sounds, lights and touch as well as innovative new wearable technology, echome, to enhance movement perceptions for both performers and audiences alike.
Step into the depths of darkness with us, where every step is a dance of connection. Fireflies at Dawn invites you to embark on a journey of discovery, where emotions take flight and senses awaken to the soft rustle of wings.
