For one night only, Emptiness: Floating Through Molasses premieres at Dance City – presenting the concept of emptiness as both a physical and psychological duality.
The two performers explore the boundaries between emptiness and fullness, delving into our deepest desires and fears, which can shift without warning.
The piece moves gracefully from moments of humour to introspection, capturing the depth of philosophical and emotional contemplation, while offering honest reflections on the complexities of daily life.
‘Molasses’ symbolises sweetness, stickiness, and a gravitational pull, while ‘Floating’ evokes the feeling of being influenced by external forces, possessing a light, airy quality – and ‘Through’ suggests a journey in motion.
With its blend of physicality and digital visuals, including a floating balloon, the performance creates an experience that exists between nothingness and existence, reflecting the increasing challenges faced by humanity.
Tickets, priced from £12.50 in advance, are available at dancecity.co.uk.
