You Touch Me

You Touch Me weaves an intricate web of duets within an ensemble of people who grew up far from here - and far from each other. Using dance and text, their encounters investigate notions of 'self' and 'other', cultural identity, race and gender.

Six virtuosic performers dance, entertain, question and challenge each other, touching on universal themes from togetherness, ageing and love, to climate change and migration. Moving between the political and the poetic, the provocative and the abstract, seriousness and silliness, the work attempts to feel and reveal this moment in time.
