Hidden, our thrilling new dance-circus production, will premiere at Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry, in February 2025. The show will then head off on an extensive tour across the UK and Europe during 2025, 2026 and beyond.
Hidden is a continuation of our artistic director Kevin Finnan’s exploration of our distinctive dance-circus form, examining the human experience in the context of some of our shared challenges in an increasingly divided world.
Seven performers delve into the world of Hidden, negotiating threats and obstacles to uncover hidden voices and push through to the light.
At times narrative, and at others abstract, Hidden is a powerful integration of artforms. A pulsing, shifting, and ever-present soundscape transforms and drives the story forward as sound and raw physical movement work together. At the cutting edge of live performance and digital integration, the sound environment, movement and dynamic set are visually drawn together by digital projections to create a shadowy and enigmatic world on stage. Changing in the blink of an eye, this living film evokes the real-world experience of constant media presence.
Building on the success of Nobody, in Hidden, Finnan further develops the company’s unique dance-circus language, absorbing elements from other physical forms and encompassing them into a distinctive and visceral movement language, where breath-taking dance melts effortlessly into thrilling circus feats.
A spectacular and unforgettable production.
Hidden is co-commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre, Birmingham Hippodrome and FABRIC. Created with support from the John Ellerman Foundation.
