Mass Effect

  • Dance
  • Entertainment

Mass Effect is an award-winning high-intensity performance with a cast of five international performers. Together, they push their physical limits, deal with exhaustion, motivation and group dynamics in endurance activity.

Spatial patterns carve out complex running formations and team collaboration becomes the key element as they push to the limits of their physical thresholds. Together they move beyond exhaustion as they find their second wind.

Members of the local community join the dancers on stage at the end of the performance, pumping up the energy to offer the performers that last push to keep going.

The result is a tremendous spectacle that fills the room with vitality and joy, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats, wishing to join them on stage.

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
