THE GUARDIAN
Step inside the installation and become part of the show.
You are invited to explore a random arrangement of wooden benches and intriguing cubes. Look closely and you discover that a short film can be viewed from inside each of the cubes. The film, choreographed by Nik Haffner, is a brilliant, yet spooky piece of dance animation performed by dolls, set in a scene of wooden benches echoing the installation itself.
The choreography is inspired by the work of William Forsythe with whom Haffner and McManus danced for many years. This eerie and multi-layered work combines the act of observing with the act of participating, involving its audience at every level.
