Charge

Charge, Motionhouse’s incredible new multi-media show is about energy.

From the electrical charge that sparks human life, to the beating of our hearts and the memories we make, six performers use dance and acrobatics to delve deep into the human body, tracing the incredible story of energy in our lives. Digital projections are used to create a world on stage where dancers and images interact seamlessly, bringing to life stories of energy in our own bodies.

In an exciting fusion of art and science, Motionhouse has worked with partners from the University of Oxford on the role of electricity in the human body to inspire the show.

Charge is created and directed by Kevin Finnan who was director of movement and choreographer on the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. This is the third element of his renowned Earth Trilogy, developing on the themes explored in Scattered (2009) and Broken(2013) which look at our relationship with water and the Earth.

Charge is here Friday 16 March at 7.30pm. Tickets are priced at £16. Discounts are available. To buy tickets contact Buxton Opera House Box Office, Tel: 01298 72190 or visit: www.buxtonoperahouse.org.uk
