Encore: Dance Side of the Moon

MainLine Theatre

Dance Side Of The Moon is re-imagining of the greatest concept album of all time. Using movement, music, and video projection, Simard creates a hauntingly poetic reflection on fear, isolation, and hope. Performed by Fringe favourite Maxine Segalowitz and featuring original video work by Kim-Sanh Châu, Dance Side Of The Moon is a surrealist treat for the senses that intimately explores our collective need for genuine human connection.

Interpreté par Maxine Segalowitz, avec des projections vidéos projections par Kim-Sanh Châu, Dance Side of the Moon est une expérience surréaliste qui explore de façon intime notre besoin pour une connexion humaine et authentique.
