Company Chameleon present a powerful and nuanced dance trio, delicate and explosive in equal measure.
Umbra, meaning ‘shadow’ in Latin, looks at the light and darkness within us. How these make us different and the same as each other.
The piece explores what we hide and what we reveal, and how behaviour changes depending on who we are with.
Highly physical and theatrical, Umbra spotlights exclusion, and the search for understanding and to be understood.
Fast paced and dynamic, yet delicate and sensitive, Umbra is an invitation to pause and understand ourselves better.
