Mortal Engine (2010)
03 March 2010 – 13 March 2010 Merlyn Theatre
Malthouse Theatre, Chunky Move Dance Company,
Theatre Dance Co-Production
A dance-video-laser performance, Mortal Engine uses movement-responsive technology to create an ever-shifting, shimmering world in which the limits of the human body are an illusion. Mortal Engine accelerates us into a reality of permanent change where crackling light and staining shadows represent the most perfect and the most sinister of souls.
"MORTAL ENGINE IS AN UNDENIABLY THRILLING WORK, EXTRAORDINARY TO LOOK AT AND EXCITING IN ITS SENSE OF POSSIBILITY."
— The Guardian
"RARELY HAVE WE SEEN SUCH A FULL INTEGRATION BETWEEN BODY AND TECHNOLOGY AS THE AUSTRALIAN CHOREOGRAPHER GIDEON OBARZANEK'S MORTAL ENGINE."
— Philadelphia Broad Street Review
