Australian Dance Theatre - The Age of Unbeauty

Pulling no punches, The Age of Unbeauty twists through an avalanche of potent images and unanticipated moments of quiet, sad tenderness and shattering vulnerability.

The dancers draw upon their disciplined and extreme training in gymnastics, breakdance and the martial art of Hapkido to bring Garry Stewart's stark and heart rendering vision of a haemorrhaging world reeling under a barrage of violence to the stage.

Incredible movement, sound, lighting and lush film effects earnt this work the highest accolades. The Age of Unbeauty is risky, technically demanding dance that is at once wrenching and riveting to watch.
The Age of Unbeauty has won a number of prestigious Australian awards, including: Outstanding Achievement in Choreography, Outstanding Performance by a Company and Outstanding Performance by a Male Dancer at the 2002 Australian Dance Awards and an Adelaide Critics Circle Group Award.
