Chimera
“A meditation on Life and Death set within a post apocalyptic landscape.”
Sascha Perfect returns to New Zealand from Ireland and Serbia to present her new work Chimera. It will be the first time Wellington audiences get to experience Perfect's Body Weather inspired dance theatre. Body Weather is a movement training coming out of Japanese Butoh dance. Perfect was mentored while in Europe by Frank Van De Ven who was part of Min Tanaka's Maijuku Performance Company in Japan.
In Chimera the audience will experience a non-rational world where bodies shape shift from human to animal.
As time unfolds backwards, death enfolds life, allowing it to merge with the spiritual. Live music and vocals combine with a rich theatrical palette to create an atmospheric setting. Featuring Live music by Chris Prosser and an electronic soundtrack by Alex Mitcalfe Wilson. (aka Snowfield)
“Chimera is meditative dance theatre with a touch of the shamanistic. Inspired by the paintings of Martin Whittfooth.” Sascha Perfect – Director of Chimera
