Bygones by Out Innerspace Dance Theatre

Bygones contends with a past that clings to the present; a psychic connective tissue that runs through space, people, objects and time. It explores the pact between creation and destruction and the nexus of form and formlessness. Moving thresholds and unruly scavengers taunt our susceptibility to ruin, detachment and inaction. Dancers are in flux. A physical lawlessness teases materiality, overthrows logic and unleashes new attempts. Change is the problem and the solution; earning transformation and the ability to reconnect. The movement is rigorous, hyper detailed and virtuosic. Ghostly architecture, puppeteering and illusions create a world of pseudo things and supernatural selves. In the end, Bygones celebrates how we are shaped by what we overcome, and how something challenging can lead to something beautiful.
