Weightless
Flexer & Sandiland

Plus post-show discussion

Weightless is the brand new work from Flexer & Sandiland that celebrates the company’s 20th anniversary. Engaging, thoughtful, but with a cheeky wink, this show carries Yael Flexer’s recognisable stamp of witty text and humour combined with fast- paced, space-hungry movement, a new sound and AV installation from Nic Sandiland and a driving musical score by composer Dougie Evans and Israeli cellist/singer Karni Postel.

Weightless, in a tongue in cheek way, references its own historical position. It questions the ‘weight’ of history, both personal and aesthetic: what is it that roots us down physically and emotionally? What might it feel like to let go or take flight?

As the cast of international performers attempt to ‘get on with the show,’ their meaningful glances, their mutual teasing and asides to the audience subvert the choreography and unsettle their choreographer – who desperately tries to keep things under control from the wings.

‘This is the kind of magic in which Flexer & Sandiland’s collaboration truly shines, and it simply has to be seen. Go.’
