Australian Dance Theatre Devolution

Garry Stewart has built a reputation for pushing dance beyond convention into new, daring realms. In Devolution Garry Stewart collaborates with Canadian multi-disciplinary artist Louis-Philippe Demers and UK video artist Gina Czarnecki to create an unique world the likes of which Australian theatre has never produced before. Situating humans in communion with multiple robotic machines of both large and medium scale, a large scale robotic, kinetic set and lighting design, a multitude of robotic prostheses and ambulating robotic constructs as well as extraordinary video art, Devolution redefines the relationship between machine and body. Filled with symbolism and ritualised process Devolution highlights that for all of our technology we are still primitive, of the flesh and live as instinctive biological beings. Devolution is a radical future vision of Australian dance.
