AN ACCIDENT / A LIFE

About the show

A solo dance performance exploring transformation and resilience through the lens of a pivotal life event. Australian dancer Marc Brew partners with choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui to create a theatrical memoir that examines how a single moment can redirect an entire trajectory. The work weaves together movement, storytelling, film, music, and visual elements to trace the aftermath of a traumatic accident and its profound impact. Nominated for two National Dance Awards—Best Modern Choreography and Outstanding Male Modern Performance—the piece balances darkness with humor and ultimately affirms the possibility of meaningful life beyond crisis. The production premiered at Holland Dance Festival in 2024 and embarks on a European tour across Scotland, Denmark, France, and Germany.
