The result of collaborations with artists working at the height of their fields, Nemesis explored the relationship between body, screen and machine. Extraterrestrial dance meets reality TV.
Nemesis was a live stage and visual work for ten dancers drawing on themes of virtual reality. It was named after the Greek goddess of vengeance, and inspired by a visit to the dilapidated In and Out club in Piccadilly. Nemesis explored emotion and mood, making explicit a non-linear, visually literate and communicative world.
Nemesis was created to celebrate the company’s tenth anniversary.
