Chunky Move is Melbourne’s flagship contemporary dance company, and has earned an enviable reputation for producing a distinct yet unpredictable brand of genre defying dance performance. Chunky Move’s work constantly seeks to redefine what is or what can be contemporary dance within an ever-evolving Australian culture.

Chunky Move’s Mortal Engine caused a sensation when it premiered at the 2008 Sydney Festival selling out before opening night, leaving audiences clamouring for tickets. Since then the production has thrilled audiences at the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, New York’s Next Wave Festival and toured to Spain, Germany, Mexico City and Melbourne. Now the award winning Mortal Engine returns to Sydney for a strictly limited season at Sydney Theatre.

Mortal Engine is a dance-video-laser performance using movement-responsive technology to portray an ever-shifting, shimmering world in which the limits of the human body are an illusion.

“Poetic as well as arresting… visually stunning” New York Times

More about Chunky Move’s artistic director Gideon Obarank……
" Obarzanek's choreography, with its brutal sometimes violent physicality, its in-yer-face references to popular culture, its cartoony characters and dark, satirical humour, all given full rein by virtuosic dancers, had arrived on the scene not so much a breath of fresh air as a gale force wind ripping through contemporary Australian dance." THE AUSTRALIAN

" The perfect dance concert for people who think modern dance is boring … Mr Obarzanek knows what time it is, and where he’s from, it’s tomorrow already." LESBIAN & GAY NEW YORK
