Mass Effect

A group of mostly naked performers face away from the camera on a brightly lit stage. One performer with curly dark hair is naked with their hair lifted dramatically. Other performers in the background are slightly out of focus and their bodies are in motion, creating a dynamic and raw atmosphere.

Pushing past the limit! Pumping the theatre full of energy and joy.

Mass Effect is an award winning high-intensity performance with a cast of 5 international performers. Together they push their physical limits, deal with exhaustion, motivation, and group dynamics in endurance activity. Spatial patterns carve out complex running formations and team collaboration becomes the key element as they push to the limits of their physical thresholds.

Together they move beyond exhaustion as they find their second wind. A second wind is an unpredictable phenomenon experienced in sports and long distance running whereby an athlete who is out of breath and too tired to continue suddenly finds the strength to press on at top performance with less exertion.

Members of the local community join the dancers on stage at the end of the performance. Pumping up the energy to offer the performers that last push to keep going. The community members help activate the so-called crowd effect, filling the theatre with an energetic pulse and a total Mass Effect.

The result is a tremendous spectacle that fills the room with vitality and joy, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats, wishing to join them on stage.
