The Dance Centre (Friday November 1)

Join us for CADA/BC Dance Response w/The Dance Centre following the performance…

Presented by The Dance Centre, Austria’s Liquid Loft burst onto the dance scene in 2005, winning international acclaim and awards including a Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for their brilliantly idiosyncratic works. Running Sushi is a provocative duet served up as a menu of dance dishes that are randomly selected by the audience. A cartoon Manga couple on the verge of a breakdown grapples with desire, shame, fashion, and chopsticks, their precisely executed movements echoing the two-dimensional Japanese ‘superflat’ style. Casting a satirical eye over the shallowness of consumer culture, Running Sushi delivers trenchant social commentary with dazzling skill and wit.
