Little Dove Theatre Art
– Performance, Friday 13th November 2009, Saturday 14th November 2009
The sold out, multi award winning, smash hit of the Edinburgh Fringe!
Six Women Standing in Front of a White Wall is an interactive 30-minute live butoh work that asks the question: What is the effect of touch or no touch on a human being? This production investigates the possibility that it is not necessarily a kind of love that we crave i.e. Romantic love or Motherly love, but a physiological need for human touch in order to survive.
A miraculous testament to our capacity for empathy – The List
Startling. Harrowing. Humbling – The Herald
life-affirming – The Scotsman
Australia’s Little Dove Theatre Art aims to touch the inner world of the spectator and remind them or show them for the first time, that all people are interconnected. This is how social change can happen.
Television, computer games, mobile phones, although all vital to the progression of human kind, discourage direct human-to-human contact. If a kind of live experience were created; if the theatre could be added to the popular mix, then it has the power to remind people of what is necessary for the survival of humankind – things like love and touch. Yes it is a grand idea. And isn’t it a grand idea!?
