Light Explorations of a Darker Nature
"There's a West Side Story feel to Light Explorations of Darker Nature, a sense of overpowering passions and violence about to erupt, but kept under cool control."
- The Toronto Star
One of the Top 10 shows of 2003, The Globe and Mail.
Light Explorations of a Darker Nature is about an overwhelming desire for the forbidden in a high-contrast, high-stakes environment. Six performers lust for and succumb to their temptation moving into a sinister world of painful loss, concealed aggression, and cold indifference. The relentless physicality of the work pushes dancers to their limits.
