Action at a Distance is a work of new form in theatre that breaches several of theatre’s traditional boundaries. Using techniques often found in film, musical composition and dance such as innovative physical ‘jump-cuts’ and ‘gestural choreography,’ characters and actions depart from common representations of time and space, to create moments of astonishing synchronicity, while actors fluidly transform among multiple characters, and interact across disparate scenes.
This dynamic, multilayered performance challenges storytelling, immersing audiences in a constantly shifting mosaic of interactions and emotions. Much like the bustle of a crowded airport, Action at a Distance captures the unpredictability within human connections, and constructs fleeting moments of seemingly unintentional, yet finely-tuned synchronicity.
