Necessary Games: Moths

A dynamic collaboration between Restless Dance Theatre and screen media company Closer Productions, NECESSARY GAMES is a triptych of dance works made specifically for the screen. The young members of Restless ensemble, who predominantly have an intellectual disability, worked with the Closer Productions team to develop these polished films. With three different takes on intimacy and connection and three explorations of the games we play, NECESSARY GAMES delivers honest, idiosyncratic movement and documents compelling interactions. The triptych forms a complete work, or each film is available separately. Part 1: MOTHS: Two men collide in a dank night world, drenched with loss and heavy with hope. Who do you see in your dreams? On a rainy night a man invades a dark space. There is another already there. Has he always been there? Perhaps he’s a memory of someone. Together, they circle and collide, thrown into other worlds full of rough sensation, remembering and recollecting. What do you want from someone who is no longer there? Here? WITH: Paul Zivkovich (Co-Director & Choreographer). Created in collaboration with and featuring performers Lorcan Hopper and Lachlan Tetlow-Stuart.
