Crystal Pite continues her investigation into the metaphoric implications of movement and performance. Dancers sculpt space in real-time, working inside a form that is constantly in a state of vanishing. In Lost Action the artists embody both the dance and its disappearance; the inevitable dissolution of their work and their bodies made poignantly apparent.
Fuelled by the outstanding abilities of these world-class performers, Lost Action begins as an analysis of the articulated and amazing body, and unfolds to reveal the human element at the centre of the work: the ephemeral body moved by the potent heart.
