Glimmering with humanity, it is physical and immediate, high-speed and relentless, yet intensely cerebral. Ten superb dancers – sinuous and endlessly torqued – engage in a series of cryptic, vivid encounters accompanied by a seamless Ben Frost score.

Following the company’s astounding appearance three years ago with Entity, FAR is an absolute must-see!
