Hold Me closer tony danza

immersive dance-theatre that asks the audience to pick a side, show their true colours and get ready to dance-off as if their lives depended on it.

In a world driven by information overload, Tony asks how we can still connect with each other when we feel so far apart?

A commonly misheard song lyric contains a deeper proposition about how we form meaning and a provocation that perhaps our understanding of the world is intrinsically flawed.

“The rules of traditional theatre and dance no longer apply”
