Are You Guilty?
Do we choose to be the victim?
Centring on the psychological ‘Bystander Effect’, three male dancers transform a single table and chair into a battleground, unleashing a fast-paced, high-tension physical struggle. Stripping away elaborate sets, the work relies purely on explosive physicality and sound to sharply dissect the constant power shifts between perpetrator, victim, and bystander.
Minimalist stage. Maximum tension. This gripping psychological warfare strikes at the core of human frailty, throwing a piercing question to the audience: Within the apathy of the collective, are you guilty?
