Constellations explores the relationship between power and gender through an eclectic series of vignettes, featuring historically marginalised archetypes of witches, fools and prophets. An ensemble of performers, musicians, composers and designers investigates the generating of new forms of audience-performer relationship, situated at the threshold of a travelling circus, ballroom and phantasmagorical pop-club. Performers directly engage the audience to reconsider the idea of who in society holds marginal and dominant roles, and why. Conventional dance-forms are challenged as well as their gendered stereotypes through a multi-disciplinary palette of movement, song, drag and symbolism.
