Surging onto the festival scene for 2010 is Cascade, Motionhouse’s newly commissioned piece.

Set on a submerged house amidst rising flood waters Cascade is an enthralling look at one family’s scramble to keep their heads above water and their feet on dry land! A company of fabulous dancers balance, fall, slide and tumble their way upwards as they ascend through the levels of their domestic life and arrive adrift on an endlessly disappearing island.  

Cascade combines the very best of dance and acrobatics in a physical and dramatic spectacle, in which the presence of water becomes more pressing and more insistently evident until it sweeps all before it.

Cascade is currently touring festivals and events throughout the UK and Europe.

"Motionhouse have brought a new dimension to dance work in the outdoor festival context which is finding an enthusiastic audience wherever it is presented."

Frank Wilson | Founder & Director, Stockton International Riverside Festival

“With Cascade Motionhouse combine a serious subject with high quality artistic performance, leaving festival audiences both stunned and impressed by the tidal wave that has taken place in front of their eyes.”
