Australian Dance Theatre's latest work, Objekt, which will premiere this October, has been created in collaboration with Germany's tanzmainz dance company, thanks to funding from Catalyst, the Federal government's arts and culture fund. This is the first time that Australian Dance Theatre (ADT) has collaborated with an international dance company.
Earlier this year ADT artistic director Garry Stewart and dancer Kimball Wong travelled to Europe to work on the project, which had its world premiere in Germany in June. Now two dancers from tanzmainz will come to Australia to work with ADT for the Australian premiere.
Objekt explores the objectification of humans and how this allows one group to measure, corral, and subjugate another. The work reflects today's socio-political reality of refugees, immigration, terrorism and xenophobia.
Objekt plays Adelaide College of the Arts 5-8 October.
