This exploration of astronomy through dance considers the relationship between the visible, bright side of the Moon and humankind. Echoing the rising and falling of the tides, two liquid bodies change and morph under the influence of the Earth’s orbiting sphere: the Moon.
Sphera is performed as part of Dancing City, GDIF’s annual outdoor dance programme which has been reinvented to allow audiences to experience more intimate performances whilst observing social distancing.
