Australian choreographer Lucy Guerin uses the 1970 collapse of the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne Australia, where 35 men lost their lives, as a starting point for Structure and Sadness. The work explores these events as a physical, emotional and visual response to a devastating accident. On stage, the six performers employ a movement vocabulary based on the engineering principles of compression, suspension, torsion and failure to construct a precarious world teetering on the point of collapse.
Presented in partnership with Baryshnikov Arts Center.
