DanceHouse in partnership with Dancers of Damelahamid presents Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Canadian Premiere of Spirit, October 25 & 26, 2019 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. In the Australian company’s mesmerizing, elemental work, artistic director Stephen Page weaves together a stunning 30-year repertoire drawn from 65,000 years of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture emboldened by compelling contemporary movement. Known for its “extraordinarily beautiful and invigorating” (The Australian) aesthetic, Spirit is a seamless fusion of authentic totemic storytelling—gathered from respected community elders—pulsing choreography and a hauntingly resonant score. A foundational work that gives voice to the rich cultural heritage of its people, Spirit offers a powerful exploration and celebration of the intrinsic connection between Indigenous people, the land, and creation itself. Tickets from $35 and more information available at dancehouse.ca or by calling 604.801.6225.
