ATTRACTOR

A co-production between Dancenorth and leading choreographers Gideon Obarzanek and Lucy Guerin, together with Indonesia’s wild Javanese trance duo Senyawa, Attractor will take audiences on a trance-noise odyssey transcending the borders of dance, music and ritual.

Presented on a special ‘surround’ stage where the demarcation between dancer and audience dissolves as the performance transitions into a large-scale dance event. Attractor will not only break new ground artistically, but also offer audiences a unique opportunity to immerse themselves, literally, in the performance.
