“Wanderlust takes the audience on a quietly spectacular journey, from first steps to moonlit death. There are moments of sheer magic when the performers, enhanced by India Flint’s pale, floating costumes, seem to swirl through luminous spaces created by Nic Mollison’s extraordinary lighting.”

wanderlust

Presented by Leigh Warren & Dancers
in association with Uno Man

After a decade of dialogue between Adelaide director/choreographer Leigh Warren and Japanese director/choreographer Uno Man, the two joined forces to create a cross-cultural dance work enriched by both experience and innovation.

Inspired by haiku poet Basho's classic text The Narrow Road to a Far Province, Wanderlust imbues an ancient journey with modern attitude. The work is a fusion of dance genres and contemporary screen media, drawing upon the cultural traditions of Japan and Australia to forge a new work relevant to today's audiences.

Crystalline and meticulously observed, Wanderlust combines Uno Man's unique style of expressing pathos and humour with Leigh Warren's poetic imagery and technical virtuosity.

Premiering to critical acclaim in Japan in 2006, Wanderlust made its Australian debut in 2007.
