Hidden
Internationally renowned dance-circus company Motionhouse returns to Leeds Playhouse with its latest multimedia production Hidden. Gravity-defying choreography, an emotive soundscape and a shape-shifting set combine with groundbreaking projections to create an immersive world on stage.
A spectacular and unforgettable production. The fearless performers throw, catch and lift each other with immense precision, thrilling audiences with heart-in-the-mouth moments in this action-packed new production.
Thought-provoking and poignant, Hidden explores how, in an increasingly divided world, light can come out of darkness in times of crisis.
Building on the successes of previous shows, including 2021’s major hit, Nobody, the production further develops Motionhouse’s distinctive and visceral dance-circus language, where breathtaking dance melts effortlessly into thrilling circus feats.
Hidden is co-commissioned by FABRIC, Birmingham Hippodrome and Warwick Arts Centre. Created with support from the John Ellerman Foundation and the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK.
Motionhouse is supported using public funding by Arts Council England and is a Birmingham Hippodrome Associate Company.
