The jumping, rolling, pounding male bodies of Black Grace (under Artistic Director Neil Ieremia) explode onstage in a passionately exhilarating Pacific Island/modern style. With their vibrant, athletic appeal winning raves worldwide, Black Grace’s witty performances are startlingly fresh, full of invention and infectious exuberance. The programme explores Samoan and Maori voice and dance, haunting evocations of cultural displacement, the triumph of the human spirit -- and the sheer joy of flying through the air to beautiful music.
"Black Grace has what it takes – energy, artistry and depth. Combine these elements with Ieremia’s vision and you have a tour de force."
