The Pulse
Gravity & Other Myths
Director: Darcy Grant
Composer: Ekrem Eli Phoenix
Lighting & Set Designer: Geoff Cobham
in co-operation with the women's concert choir of CHORAKADEMIE at Konzerthaus Dortmund e. V.
German Premiere
The australian company that has conquered the world, brings together all three of its core ensembles plus a choir of 24 voices. The Pulse is the work of scale that we’ve been longing for. The Helpmann award-winning creative team responsible for Out of Chaos – director Darcy Grant, designer Geoff Cobham and composer Ekrem Eli Phoenix – reunite to extend and amplify the signature spirit of this unique company: visceral, poetic, heart-stopping feats… Dispatched by your best mates.
Epic passages of seemingly impossible levels of cooperation and humanity, repeat, stretch, blossom and decay alluding to forces much greater than ourselves.
Watch as a mountain of bodies crumbles into an ocean of voice. Towering human structures move with precision through a pulsing web. Cobham’s sentient lighting design, combined with Grant's inspired crowd management and Phoenix's driving score, create an intricate, organic synchronicity of human movement and sound – all to the beat of your own pounding pulse!
It’s the heart-starter we all need.
