Salamander

An emergency, The colour red, Time to go, Time to wake up Time to stand up and hold each other before it is too late Before there is nothing left Do we fight and stay? Do we make a change? Or do we adapt?

Two artistic visionaries Maxine Doyle and Es Devlin combine forces for an epic new work.

Salamander is a promenade, dance-theatre work which transforms a Northshore warehouse through light, sound, design and movement into a science, climate-fiction dream-like world. Es Devlin’s labyrinthian and kinetic sculptures live within a flooded landscape which is inhabited by characters desperate to make a change before it’s too late.

Maxine Doyle – together with a dynamic ensemble of international, national and local dancers, including Brisbane’s Australasian Dance Collective, with extraordinary Australian composer and singer Rachael Dease – will bring this world to life with visceral dance and haunting melodies. With lighting by Ben Hughes and costumes by Bruce McKinven, Salamander is a transformative performance experience set in an epic installation created by the legendary Es Devlin.
