Escape is a dance drama that retraces an event of the past, the choreographers' visit to the famous Akiyoshido cave - the largest cave in Japan and a masterpiece of natural art. It also serves as a metaphor for the decent into the subliminal terrain of the sub-conscious.

Contrasting action-packed movement with intense stillness Escape features the mesmerising Japanese contemporary dancer Kaiji Moriyama and outstanding young pianist Simon Tedeschi performing the music of legendary composer Toru Takemitsu.
