What goes away and what stays?
Body parts go away. Pretty much all possessions go away with the exceptions of pets and houseplants. Dancing stays. Music stays. Chronic pain, anxiety, regrets—all go away. Fear stays. So for those of you who have a lot of fear that can be rough. Family goes away. And some people are very happy about that.
Sex stays, but it shifts into something more like farming.
In More, Headlong imagines a dance of our bodies after our bodies have gone away. In an ever-shifting landscape, a house is built, dismantled, and built up again. Rooms morph into sculptures strewn with bodies. And a horse-field of green appears from nowhere. Through it all, a furious lament of disappearing bodies tears across a domestic world of microwaves and Doris Day songs. Two years in the making, Headlong uprooted their 16-year collaborative approach to create More, the company's most intense and gripping work to date.
For More, Headlong's artistic directors were inspired by in depth conversations and provocations from renowned choreographer Tere O'Connor.
