EXCITING NEW DANCE THEATRE SHOW! BOOK NOW!

R.I.O.T.

A show created by Joseph Mercier and PanicLab

27^th May, The Place

 7-31 August, ZOO Venues, Edinburgh

Commissioned by Dance City, in association with Cambridge Junction, MDI, Unity Theatre.

Made at The Place.

PanicLab, set up in 2008 produce contemporary dance theatre with a 'personal or political edge and a dose of humour'. This sounds like a strong basis for brave and interesting storytelling. Their work is usually devised, and they collaborate with others to make their work accessible to all, something which I feel is VERY important.

To see what this exciting performing arts company are all about, check out their new show R.I.O.T:

"Four performers playing at superheroes are caught in a series of conflicts which are both personal, and intricately political.  Spiced with comic book and action hero references, their epic adventure unfolds through action-packed choreography and projected illustrations, as they question what a superhero might look like in today’s complex and troubled world?"

The show was said to initially be inspired but the student riots, and looks set to be packed with action, movement and strong imagery.
