Bold in its vision and deeply evocative, Lake literally floods the entire performance area to create a visually stunning and highly engaging dance theatre work. A seamless fusion of visual design, video projection, an original score and Wilson’s acclaimed choreography, Lake explores our fascination with and fear of water, a medium that can be at turns breathtakingly beautiful and a force of indiscriminate destruction.
Serene, calm, haunting, and menacing, Lake takes audiences on a journey through their primal response to sparkling reflection and murky depths; to intense beauty and chilling isolation; to utter wilderness and timeless myth.
