REFUGEES OF THE septic HEART
The heart beat of a nation as it perches on the brink of change.
Explosive physicality, urban soundscapes and graphic visuals ignite in a mischievous exploration of life perched on the brink of change.
Inspired by and performed to the enigmatic concept album by the prodigious music producer Shackleton.
Refugees of the Septic Heart is a full on, fully integrated audio-visual performance where six incredible dancers navigate a world in flux, accelerating from primordial beginnings to a high finance present before exploding into a new dimension.
This is Tom Dale’s second collaboration with digital artist Barret Hodgson.
Described by Sanjoy Roy for Londondance.com as a “choreographic concept album”.
“An exquisite feast for the senses which tantalises the audience….Tom Dale creates beautiful movement which is a rare joy to watch.” - Cloud Dance Festival
