Permutations

Permutations is an immersive dance film installation that positions the audience in the centre of large screens where a multiple point-of-view story unfolds, playing at Brisbane Powerhouse from June 15-18, 2022.

In 1982, two sisters aged 16 and 17 farewell their darling mother and her newlywed husband on their honeymoon vacation. However, the short trip soon becomes an extended holiday and the siblings are left to fend for themselves with the help of the neighbour and the local milkman. What unfolds is a story of two young women cast into a grown-up world - a spiral of abandonment, self-discovery, and recklessness at a time when missing person cases run rampant in their sleepy city.

Featuring four stunning dancers, Richard Causer, Bella Hood, Lucy Hood and Jacob Watton, this new dance film by choreographer Claire Marshall occurs as an installation, immersing the audience in the centre of four huge screens.

Evoking dark undertones, the experience of Permutations takes a ‘multiple point-of-view’ structure whereby the audience is able to choose their view of the four characters and of the alternative perspectives of the story unfolding.
