Premiering at Jacksons Lane on 29&30 May 2025
Our brains don’t just perceive reality — they reconstruct it. But what if what we see isn’t all there is?
Blending dance and circus, Bending Reality unravels shifting perspectives and hidden layers of perception.
A sculptural dress reshapes the space, while Ben Glover’s video design captures the moments between what is seen and imagined.
As with previous Nua Dance productions, this show prioritises accessibility for deaf audiences through:
• Creative captions
• Sound-reactive visuals
• Woojer vests and belts (available in limited numbers) to experience the vibration of the sound
• Text-based sound descriptions
