Dance powerhouse Force Majeure is bringing one of its recent works to Melbourne's Dance Massive festival, transforming Arts House's Northcote Town Hall into an intimate arena. It features a diverse group of dancers competing against each other for an audience's affections in a Hunger Games-esque battle royale, which eventually transforms into something more intriguing.
You Animal, You premiered at Sydney Festival in early 2018. In a three-star review, we wrote:
"There’s plenty to savour in this visually and aurally arresting production, packed with charismatic performers stretching physical and dramatic muscle. It will set both your heart and mind racing in some direction, but there’s a decent chance neither will reach its intended destination."
But the work has had some significant rejigs to its script and dramaturgy since then. This new version stars: Ghenoa Gela, Raghav Handa, Lauren Langlois, Hayley McElhinney (taking over from original cast member Heather Mitchell) and Jack Riley.
