Splice of Life
The Fremantle Theatre Company INDIE program is presenting this newest iteration of Xin Hui Ong’s original dance-theatre work: SPLICE!
If you are open to a new experience and meeting some of WA’s most phenomenla dance artists, please come and witness this creative exploration at Victoria Hall.
Ever reconnected with an old friend after a long time, realised that although you’ve both taken different life paths, your journeys resonate, sharing parallel themes and challenges despite making different choices? How do our choices create our reality? How, where and why do we converge?
In a deeply personal and contemplative evening, SPLICE explores how our lives are threads of a larger fabric of the universe, a multiverse of infinite possibilities.
Splice is a mesmerising mix of soulful vocals, loop-recorded live music, a kinetic set design depicting hidden dimensions, and evocative contemporary dance. With elements of improvisation, the performance is different each night.
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the special way in which Dance can also transform into discussion after this 30-minute performance, as speakers from different walks of life share authentic personal journeys.
