– WORLD PREMIERE –

I met God and it was a glorious, absolute reduction to pink and a series of television talk show appearances.

Presented in celebration of Phillip Adams BalletLab’s 20th anniversary year, Glory embodies a philosophical ritualising of choreographic traditions, cinema, irreverence and conceptual art.

Glory evolved from source material including Bach’s Brandenburg Concerti, Hollywood TV sit-coms, and the art of Yves Klein. Frenetic, intricate and relentlessly virtuosic dancing culminates in a revelation of the “almighty” through a saturation of the colour pink.

Glory brings together balletic opulence with seemingly incongruous pop culture references, overstimulating the audience with an abundance of ideas in order to playfully validate and mock the notion of an artist-Creator. Glory splices together revelations and experiences of the divine.

Presented by Temperance Hall as part of Dance Massive 2019
