GUEST PRODUCTION
A dance depiction of the age of enlightenment. Choreographer Wayne McGregor found his inspiration for F.A.R. in Ray Porter’s book Flesh in the Age of Reason, a story about an 18th century journey of enlightenment in body and soul. Ten amazing dancers challenge the distortions, sensuality and feeling of an age permeated by the search for knowledge. Accompanied by an insistent, contemporary music score by Ben Frost.
This is the first visit to Norway by the Wayne McGregor | Random Dance company. Besides being the company where Wayne McGregor has developed his strong choreographic signature, Random Dance is known for steadily pushing the boundaries of dance and incorporating new technology and other forms of artistic expression into performances.
Wayne McGregor is house choreographer with the Royal Ballet in London and currently one of the most in-demand choreographers. He has also studied experimental psychology at Cambridge University and several of his works are the result of research processes in psychology. So it is with F.A.R. According to the New York Times, he creates “Some of the most exciting work in ballet on the planet”.
Concept and development: Wayne McGregor
Choreography: Wayne McGregor in collaboration with the dancers
Music: Ben Frost
Scenography: rAndom International
Costumes: Moritz Junge
