Hellen Russo (WA)

A chance to sit inches away from a powerful dance work of energy and restraint. Into a darkened space the audience member will become both lighting designer and operator for this physical performance inspired by Salvador Dali’s painting,Hallucinogenic Toreador.

Is this for me? A dance installation for those who don’t mind sitting up close and holding a torch during the performance.Contains partial nudity.
