Biennale College Dancers - The Remaining Silence
Description
The Remaining Silence is a new work we’ve created with the incredible dancers of Biennale College, and is a direct response to THE HERDS – inviting the audience into a world after the great animals have vanished. Sixteen performers step into an imagined museum of extinction shaped by the aftermath of what has been lost. No puppets, no animals. Just the humans who are left carrying the imprints of the creatures now gone, blurring the lines between man and creature. Their bodies search for meaning inside the absence. Through raw physicality and fractured voice, this work becomes a ritual of memory and transformation. What begins as mourning turns into something else: responsibility, renewal and the question of what we choose to carry forward. It is a quiet uprising. A dance on the bones of what we failed to protect.
