The HEAT
Author(s):
Becky Namgauds
Set in a surreal domestic dreamscape where the familiar warps, something primal is seeping out—dark psyches uncoiling, desires smouldering, and absurdity slicing through the ordinary.
Throughout THE HEAT, the domestic space becomes unstable, a place where comfort and confinement blur and where tension verges on erupting. Namgauds' choreography (in collaboration with the performers) is physical and primal, disrupting perceptions of the female body and the expectations of it.
With striking physicality and moments of surreal humour, the dancers take audiences on a journey where home becomes a place to give in to animal urges, let go and be more primal. THE HEAT fractures the expectations of the home as a place of comfort and safety for women.
