About Fault Lines – Lila Dance
As our planet’s voice gets louder, are we ready to listen?
Fault Lines pulls at the tension in our relationship with nature. Our constant pursuit of progress, increasing the speed of life, has left us out of sync with the natural world.
A scorched earth, from the rubble and the ruin, the survivors emerge. A new world, a second chance. Within changing landscapes created from striking digital illustrations and evocative music, our survivors navigate the world, racing towards an unknown future.
Fault Lines explores the environmental damage we’ve inflicted, but asks what happens when we stand together with hope? What will that take?
New writing by Nick Walker (award-winning writer, BBC) gives voice to both the existential panic, alongside the everyday problem-solving needed to live on a hotter, more crowded, and less predictable planet.
With an original sound score by Dougie Evans, the projection of digital imagery by Zach Walker (MakeAmplify), and digital moving illustrations by Courtney McCarthy, the natural world enters the space to create a rich sensory world for the performers.
Fault Lines is performed by the professional dance company Lila Dance who will be joined for some pieces by dancers from Henley College.
Reviews

The Guardian
“One of the most evocative pieces of dance theatre I have seen for quite a while.”
