Motionhouse: Nobody at Blackpool Grand Theatre

A thrilling dance-circus show, Motionhouse’s Nobody explores the tension between our inner lives and how we make sense of the world around us. This intoxicating and spellbinding dance show leaps into Blackpool Grand Theatre this March – so if you haven’t seen this spectacular performance before, seize the opportunity.

Nobody is an exhilarating piece that sees the company reach new levels with their raw physical strength and gravity-defying choreography.

Brimming with visual magic, seven dancers move around the stage on a journey of self-discovery. With spectacular strength and elegance, the ensemble finds courage and support in one another. Meanwhile, a group of curious crows watch and question every move they make – the birds representing the restrictive, inner part of themselves that they must resist.

Using illusion-like digital projections and a shape-shifting set, the world on stage transforms right before your eyes. Nothing appears quite as it seems – as the performers navigate their ever-changing reality and the world pulls apart around them. Building on Motionhouse Artistic Director Kevin Finnan’s previous examination of the human condition and our place in the world, Nobody is an exhilarating piece that sees the company reach new levels with their raw physical strength and gravity-defying choreography.

If you haven’t seen this spectacular performance before, seize the opportunity.
