Tens of thousands of years ago, a genetic mutation gave rise to the physical manifestation of red hair in humans. Now, like many, they are endangered.

Air is slowly emptying from a large transparent inflatable structure, ultimately sealing its inhabitants in preserved isolation.

Dancenorth uses the plight of its dancers as an allegory for a contracting world. A world where ecosystems and minorities are increasingly suffocated and silenced.

Epic and intimate, RED illuminates the universal challenge of our survival: sustaining diverse and resilient social and biological eco-systems.

Dancenorth Australia presents RED at Malthouse Workshop.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Major Festivals Initiative, managed by the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, in association with the Confederation of Australian International Arts Festivals Inc., Brisbane Festival,  RISING, Ten Days on the Island, and Stanford Live.
