Manifesto

Nine dancers. Nine drummers. Nine drum kits.

Stephanie Lake Company (Colossus, Sydney Festival 2020) returns to Sydney with another unforgettable feast for your eyes and ears.

In Manifesto, Lake – one of the most innovative choreographers to emerge in Australia in the last decade – brings together nine dancers and nine drummers on nine kits in an explosive ‘tattoo to optimism’, rooted in the ancient and frankly unbeatable symbiosis of dancing and percussion.

Composed by Robin Fox and featuring some of Australia’s finest drummers, Manifesto builds and builds over an enthralling hour, whipping Lake’s fearless dancers into an exhilarating and irresistible celebration of human creativity and spirit.

Rich with innovative visual compositions, complex rhythms and deliciously unpredictable choreography, Manifesto is a work to raise the spirit and rattle the bones.
