2Faced Dance - In the Dust Zoo Southside 16 August

Three contemporary dance pieces, Subterrania, Politicking Oath and 7.0, adding up to just over an hour long show. It needs a large space and the lighting is a strong feature, which would make it unsuitable for most RT venues but if you've got the facilities, this is a stunning show. Rapturous applause from a nearly full house rewarded an incredibly athletic performance by the 8 strong, all male company. The middle piece had a very different characteristic from the other two, was less "dancey" and more illustrative and in places humorous, based on random Olympic events. The top and tail though were full-on, highly physical, bordering on hip-hop gymnastics and quite thrilling. Suitable for family audiences. Charlie, Artery.
