Riverside Theatre has hosted a series of peculiar and fun dance spectaculars over the beginning of 2021, and ‘Narcifixion’ seems to be no exception.
Coming to Parramatta next month, this show has been said to make contemporary dance both interesting and accessible, making it a joy for all audiences – not just those who love dance.
A highly detailed and expansive contemporary dance duet, ‘Narcifixion’ is a both dark and humorous work about narcissism by exploring identity in the digital age.
Inspired by our current obsession with screens, and how it has led to epidemically prevalent narcissism, this show uses physical characters who are in a constant state of showing themselves off, and then observing themselves as they are tapped, scanned and swiped in the digital age.
With riotous dance and high levels of theatricality, ‘Narcifixion’ promises to be both deeply insightful and completely entertaining.
‘Narcifixion’ will play at the Riverside Theatre from Thursday, May 13 to Saturday, May 15 with evening sessions and one matinee on Friday, May 14. Tickets begin at $28. Visit http://www.riversideparramatta.com.au for more information and to purchase tickets.
