NEVER DID ME ANY HARM to Play Glen Street Theatre This August
By: BWW News Desk Jul. 15, 2016
In an unsettling yet familiar Aussie backyard, the fears of parents are danced, voiced and unraveled in this provocative dance theatre work, which comes to Glen Street Theatre for six shows only.
Never before have parents been under such pressure when it comes to raising children. Is the pressure to get it right overwhelming us? And what is 'good parenting' anyway? Are children today given too much choice? Too few boundaries? Less chance to take risks?
Drawing inspiration from Christos Tsiolkas' bestselling novel The Slap, Champion and her company interviewed people of all ages and backgrounds for their opinions on what makes a good parent.
Force Majeure is known for making work that transforms the familiar and domestic into the poetic.
Using a distinctive language of dance, images and text, Force Majeure and Sydney Theatre Company create an emotional, humorous and insightful work that cannot fail to resonate with all who were once children.
