Vancouver-based Out Innerspace Dance Theatre will be developing a new project, titled New Creation, during their two-week residency at the Yukon Arts Centre and will perform it on our mainstage on September 7 at 7PM.
 
Show Description
New Creation features an unlikely constellation of characters past their heyday asking if their best days are behind them. A Rhino, Skeleton, Matador, Oil and a Cockroach fight for relevance, face opportunity for transformation and discover what they bring into uncertain futures.
 
A comedy and tragedy tightrope, New Creation prioritizes what is essential for enduring time and the threatened extinction of our dreams. OIS’s expressive and interactive production design creates a limitless “elsewhere” using transformation, ritual and humour to help connect human longevity to the necessary survival of creatures, concepts, values and things.
