THE HEAT, a surreal dance theatre piece by Becky Namgauds, begins in the realm of the domestic space. As the landscape unravels, cracks appear, and through them seep the dark psyche, simmering desires, and moments of biting absurdity transforming the home into a dreamscape of tension and primal energy.
With striking physicality and moments of surreal humour, the dancers take audiences on a journey through an unflinching portrait of the wild forces just beneath the surface.
Before this show, Charlotte Spencer Projects present three artworks from We are all Memory Bodies - a collection of participatory pieces that explore our relationships between touch, memory and sensation in The Village Green at The Dance Space. Find out more here.
