Impermanence Presents… Laila Diallo, Bandi Meszerics and Tom Thom Triple Bill

Canadian-born, Bristol-based dance maker Laila Diallo presents In This Moment. She draws on and transforms materials from Countless Yellow Chairs, a recent work created and performed with composer Jules Maxwell and many of the yellow chairs that once belonged in the Bristol Old Vic Studio Theatre. This solo speaks of change, of remembering and forgetting, and of our experience of time passing.

Berlin based dancer / choreographer Bandi Meszerics performs Ways of the Blue. He says “Blue has a history and a story to tell, which I am – we are – a part of. Through the conscious use of and the subconscious invitation of dance, music and poetry, I attempt to tell the audience about blue in this private language that’s been growing between me and the colour.”

The performance art duo Tom Thom have apparently “been doing things together for a while. Walking. Dancing. Holding. Hugging. They began spaced far apart from each other and spend a long time trying to find each other. They are doing this and they will continue to do this.”

Impermanence Presents… Jean Abreu

British-Brazilian choreographer presents Solo for Two, the second production in a trilogy where he explores human identity, formed in-between different cultures and dance languages. Two dancers are caught in a struggle to find their place in the world. A little robot called ‘Macheba’ both interacts and observes the dancers, mirroring and absorbing our human identities.
