This seminal work and the word 'spring' are reimagined as a mechanical structure, transporting dancers onto mini aerobic trampolines to fly through the air, amplifying Stravinsky’s score to unseen heights.

Techniques such as stop-motion, symmetry and whip pans are skilfully inhabited by the dancers as you are swept into a saturated melodrama of mischief and mayhem.

The flexible yet diminishing space encourages a physical dialogue to be adopted amongst the dancers as their proximity constantly minimises. The ever-contracting sci-fi landscape sees them tussle through flailing states of lax and rebel independence, eventually surrendering to the rhythmic rigour and homogeny of structure.
