Spaceproject

After 18 years in Europe collaborating with the likes of William Forsythe, Prue Lang has returned home with a work of intellectual rigour, surprising humour and beautifully realised movement.

Although Spaceproject falls into the ‘use of text’ trap, (dancers, I’m sorry to report, are not actors), its light and shade rescue it from arcane dryness. The standout here though is Lang’s wonderfully fluid and intricate choreography; all of which is realised with athletic grace by four of Australia’s finest, Lauren Langlois, Benjamin Hancock, Amber McCartney and James Batchelor. Part-narrative, part-philosophy, part-astronomy, Spaceproject is at once playful and serious, and certainly worth a slice of your space/time.
