DRILL’s 2021 Major Season
Leviathan
AUGUST 26TH - 28TH, 2021
Studio Theatre - Theatre Royal
Leviathan was performed by a united DRILL company, assembling both junior and senior company members, ages 9 - 24, to create a relentless, reflective and powerful work. The work focussed on bringing to the front the voices, bodies, concerns and curiosities of today’s youth. It united their collective passion for change and fierce determination, to create a work rich in power and subtlety told through abstract story and energetic movement.
Leviathan was not something to understand or ‘get’. Instead, we invited audiences to let their imaginations wander into sensations, spaces and worlds that reflected this cast’s embodied emotions of how they feel about the world now, what they envision in their near future and the wildest versions of what the world might feel and look like well after we’ve all left.
The work harnessed the sentiment of darkness and light sitting side by side, that we can’t experience one without having known the other – it’s a dance.
