14 — 15 Sep
Us And All Of This
Presented by Brisbane Festival and supported by the Queensland Government.
“a collective act of radical slowness”
Unfolding momentarily on the Brisbane Powerhouse Forecourt, this large-scale sculptural performance offers a rare moment of calm reflection, gathering 100 people from all walks of life to move together as one.
Created by Liesel Zink with sound artist Lawrence English, this mesmerising dance performance explores assembly and collectivity as an antidote to a capitalistic era of over-productivity, disembodiment, and dislocation.
Us And All Of This rejects the positioning of humans as something separate to the environment, and challenges the fast-paced, isolated structure of society. Performers move with the landscape and each other, acknowledging our place as one part of a complex ecology, in a ritual of coming together.
