The Ends of Things/Melt

Australian-based choreographer Lucy Guerin explores the close of a day in the life of a man rapidly losing his connection to the world. In The Ends of Things, a man’s life is reduced to a small room from which he continues his mundane daily activities with painstaking, fastidious monotony as he recalls in fragments the life that is behind him. Melt is a dance duet that follows an extreme temperature trajectory from freezing to boiling. These extremes are examined physically and emotionally, and supported through light, sound, and movement.
