Overview
Dance Theatre production, UK and France
Masquerade is inspired by Freud’s interpretation of dreams and the Surrealist movement of the mid 20th century and its fascination with the subconscious, eroticism, death and the mystery of time. On an excursion into the inner spheres of the sleeping mind, the intergenerational company of six dancers turns bone structures liquid and de- & re-construct bodies and their secrets.
Maresa von Stockert has collaborated with renowned SFX artist John Schoonraad who has created delicately sculpted faces and prosthetics that are brought to life by the performers and are an integral and intricate part of this stage piece’s physical poetry.
Evoking vivid imagery from the beautifully macabre to the violently sensual, Masquerade invites you to leave the rules of reason behind and dive into a dreamlike world that gives free rein to the choreographer’s “scrupulously focused yet wildly hallucinatory” (Judith Mackrell, The Guardian) imagination.
Running time: 65 minutes
