Sydney Dance Company will perform ab [intra] in 4 locations across France, including a 2-week residency at the prestigious cultural institution Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris. This is such an exciting time for the Company to be able to reach out to the world again and is one step closer to normality”
“★★★★ This is contemporary dance at its most evocative and beautiful…moments of sheer wonderment and unexpected emotional catharsis.” TimeOut

ab [intra], ‘from within’ in Latin, is ‘dazzling, electrifying, heartfelt’ – Limelight
Exploring our primal instincts, our impulses and our visceral responses, ab [intra] is a dynamic and powerful masterwork.
The music fuses lush cello with ambient electronica and the exquisite dancers occupy a visually arresting ethereal world.
This is a ferociously physical and emotional piece which will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.
“★★★★ ab [intra] has to be seen to be believed” Sydney Morning Herald
