Sydney Dance Company's momenta

Presented by Civic Theatre Newcastle 

Choreographed by Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela 

Sydney Dance Company explodes onto the stage in Rafael Bonachela's momenta. From the most tender exchanges to an intense physical storm, witness an extraordinary force of movement, striking individuality and powerful unity, escalating to a joyous release.

The connection is instinctive. The moment is transformational.

momenta takes audiences on a journey into the poetry and physicality of human bonds. This mesmerising work presents a kaleidoscope of energy, capturing moments where individual trajectories collide and intertwine.

The dancers transcend physical limitations, exploring the full range of their bodies with grace, power and vulnerability. Each moment resonates through space, drawing the audience into a world of raw emotion.

Through the captivating interplay of Bonachela's signature choreographic style, Nick Wales' evocative soundscapes, Elizabeth Gadsby's arresting set design and Damien Cooper's striking lighting, momenta gathers the hurtling vectors of our lives into confluence and connection. For audiences and dancers alike, it is an invitation to rejoice in the beauty and fragility of our shared humanity.

Running time 75 minutes, no interval. Running times are approximate and subject to change without notice.
