FIREFLIES AT DAWN

About the show

This enchanting show shares the lived experiences of the company's visually impaired and sighted dancers, revealing how life's encounters are felt, remembered, and stored in the body. The delicate interplay of sound and motion invites you to discover the lived experience of blind and visually impaired people and to pay attention to how we connect with our senses, ourselves and others. Witness the power of vulnerability in this emotional and sensory show. This dance theatre piece weaves together the threads of inclusivity and self-expression, exploring the richness of our shared humanity and the strength found in our search for connection. Co-created and performed by visually impaired and sighted dancers, Fireflies at Dawn continues Unbound Dance Theatre‘s investigation into how and why we move and dance. The show uses embedded audio description, sounds, lights and touch as well as innovative new wearable technology, echome, to enhance movement perceptions for both performers and audiences alike. Step into the depths of darkness with us, where every step is a dance of connection. Fireflies at Dawn invites you to embark on a journey of discovery, where emotions take flight and senses awaken to the soft rustle of wings. Join us in this visual and aural experience as we journey through the dark forest, guided by the gentle hum of fireflies, leading us towards more freedom and understanding.
