Coming to the Canberra Theatre Centre is acclaimed performance Post Phase: The Summit is Blue, which will run for four nights across February 12 to February 15, 2015.

Presented in two parts, Post Phase: The Summit is Blue explores the ‘why’ of human nature, why we do things, why we pursue things, even why we are human.

Volume One is choreographed by Melbourne-based dancer Chloe Chignell and is comprised of a solo performance; Volume Two by Timothy Walsh, is a duet. Connecting the two stories is the mountain of ice that sits in the middle of the stage, a reminder of the risks that we take while answering the question of why – because it is there.

“A pursuit bound to fail; the dancers push their limits. Using a metaphor of scaling an ice-capped mountain the dance explores physical endurance, beauty and their changing relationship. A mountain of ice glimmers in the space, melting, changing state, and reflecting the light. The sound is so persistent the rhythm becomes a texture, filling the air with kinesthetic experience.”

Post Phase: The Summit is Blue will show at the Canberra Theatre Centre for four nights, February 12 until February 15.
