Sydney Dance Company is about to celebrate its 100th performance of Rafael Bonachela’s multi award winning 2 One Another.

 2 One Another premiered in Sydney in March 2012, and has since toured nationally and to 9 cities across North America, South America and Russia, garnering rave reviews and awards along the way. It is now to be restaged in the company's home theatre for the company's Sydney season.

The work is the result of an exciting collaboration between Sydney Dance Company artistic director and choreographer Rafael Bonachela, set and costume designer Tony Assness and composer/music director Nick Wales, with poetry by Samuel Webster. 

The result is an exultant and moving study of human interaction and relationships. 2 One Another explores the couple (2), the individual (One), and the group (Another), in ‘A performance of astonishing stamina and physicality.’ (Limelight).

The performance is set against a stunning digital backdrop of motion design and animation, featuring an exceptional soundtrack – seamlessly encompassing Baroque and electronica – shot through with fragments of poetry created and utilized during the soundtrack development of the work.

The striking 2 One Another campaign artwork is an expression of the interplay between human physicality and technology inspired by the performance. 360º photography captured from the perspective of both dancers has been 3D sculpted and art worked to capture moments of tension in stills and video.

Crackling with exultant power and intricate physical conversation, a pulsing pixelated backdrop, baroque-meets-electronica soundtrack and fragments of poetry, the work is a bright hour of irrefutable sensuality, delivering a visceral charge that has thrilled audiences around the world.

The Sydney season will be held from 5 to 14 October 2017, at the Roslyn Packer Theatre, Walsh Bay.
