About Stephanie Lake Company: VISTA at Malthouse Theatre
A brand new work from Stephanie Lake Company (Manifesto, Monsters), VISTA is a dance in two halves, bound together by a pulsing through-line of rhythm, invention and design.
Act One unfolds in stark black and white, as a precise, razor-edged world of dualities. Doubt and faith, real and fake, crisis and victory. Act Two detonates into colour, refracting the same reality through psychedelic glass. Structures repeat, motifs re-emerge, but everything is transformed into something lush and hallucinatory.
At its heart, VISTA wrestles with the slipperiness of perception: how one moment, one conversation, one event, can fracture into different readings depending on who is watching, and from where. It’s a reflection on the fragile line between objectivity and belief.
What anchors it all is the body in motion: blistering dancing that marries precision with abandon, musicality with poetics. With costuming from iconic Melbourne brand ALPHA60 and music by internationally acclaimed audio-visual artist Robin Fox, the dancers and collaborators drive this shape-shifting world, where monochrome discipline collides with kaleidoscopic, joyful release.
