MEDIA RELEASE • 9 MAY 2023
On Saturday 27 May at 7:30pm, Sydney Dance Company graces Costa Hall with Rafael Bonachela’s contemporary dance masterpiece, ab [intra].
Fresh from the international stages of France, including a sold-out season in Paris, Sydney Dance Company are delivering a journey through the intensity of human existence combining ambient sound and exquisite dancing at ab [intra].
Defined as ‘from within’ in Latin, ab [intra] is an exploration of our primal instincts, our impulses and our visceral responses.
Fusing lush cello with atmospheric electronics and an ensemble of elegant dancers, this show urges you to take in the breathtaking movements and discover a new ethereal world crafted by Sydney Dance Company.
This intensely commanding work is the brainchild of Sydney Dance Company’s Artistic Director, Rafael Bonachela. A renowned leader within the high art and popular culture space, Bonachela’s repertoire spans from hosting his work in major international galleries to collaborating with famed musicians including, Kylie Minogue, Sarah Blasco, Katie Noonan, Tina Turner and The Sixteen on top of choreographing dozens of award-winning dance pieces for various companies across the globe.
ab [intra] premiered in Sydney in May 2018 and has toured with rave reviews around Australia as well as Austria, Finland, Poland, Spain and France.
You don’t want to miss this ferociously physical and heartfelt piece that will stay with you long after the final curtain is drawn.
