About:
A dance theatre work exploring one man’s internal battle with
depression, loss and memory. Combining choreography with cinematic
imagery, S I C K delves into psychological tension and the presence of
an unseen intruder shaped by grief. Created by choreographer Taira Foo,
the piece draws on lived experience and collaboration with young people
affected by mental health challenges. The words ‘elastic’, ‘space’ and
‘movement’ become metaphors for confinement and release, questioning
whether hope can emerge when darkness feels overwhelming.
