Behind the Veneer
March 20, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$18.00 – $25.00Presented by The Contemporary Dance Company of WA
Produced by Buzz Dance Theatre
Behind The Veneer is a highly physical, captivating and accessible dance theatre work that unravels the many and varied masks we wear to function in different situations, to stay in control and keep relationships afloat.
This provocative dance work provides an insight into the games we play to preserve inner most feelings and cover insecurities. The work tackles themes of self-identity, investigating the facades we develop to hide and conceal our true identity. What are you willing to reveal?
Director Cadi McCarthy developed a strong and spirited full length work with six dancers that tells individual stories, speaks of society as a whole, and interweaving relationships that audiences can relate to.
