Within a moving set of frames the action is exposed and edited before the audience's eyes. Live action interacts with life-sized film imagery evoking the multiplicity of thought within each character…their fleeting desires…their unfulfilled expectations.

Giant giraffes tangled in a mating ritual are background to a couple's antagonistic counterbalance dance. A human race that runs in circles is a metaphor for our more desperate efforts to survive…and a marathon dance of repetition reveals nuances of intimacy that only exist through the stamina of emotional endurance.

Drawing inspiration from as diverse sources as the film “They Shoot Horses Don't They?”, the Margaret Attwood short story “Happy Endings” and our own personal lives, the work is driven by movement, dance, and physicality.

Same, same But Different defies categorisation with dancers that act, actors that move and film that lives and breathes through the flesh of the performers. Magic realism within live performance.
