Underdrome

Roundhouse Theatre, London, UK | 2009
‍
Darren Johnston’s site specific Butoh-inspired contemporary dance piece. Featuring 30 dancers and an The London Contemporary Orchestra. The set was designed by Block9, who created a "frozen moment in time". The performance was staged in the round on a large, central, x-shaped platform with an ethereal, 6m tall, bonsai tree at its centre. Around the tree's canopy, as if startled by an unheard gunshot, are 2000 paper birds.
