Motion Sickness

a2 Company are an Aotearoa-Australia theatre company who have made two award winning physical theatre shows in as many years. Last year they sold out a week at the Christchurch Arts Centre with Running into the Sun, don't miss the limited season of Motion Sicknesss at Little Andromeda in the middle of the international tour.

Motion Sickness is an hour of urgent electronic music performed live by Toby Leman (Earl Green, HUMMUCIDE, Revulva), and a sharp text about the end of the cosmos written by Ben Ashby and performed by Ethan Morse. It's an existential crisis, a cathartic hour of dance music, rage and hope, scored by hypnotic AV design by Asha Barr, with choreography from Nadiyah Akbar.

Please take a second to think about the ever-expanding blackness of space, about the vastness of the deep ocean. Consider that human history is only 0.0002% Of the Universes history.

To be a tiny part of a massive universe is not the same as being insignificant.
