Directed by former Cirque du Soleil artists, Imago is contemporary aerial-dance that explores the space between holding onto and letting go of another. It's a gripping duet brought to life through cinematic original music, visceral floor-to-air choreography and dreamlike visual design. Winner of the Isadora Award for Excellence in Choreography, Corporeal Imago's previous show was nominated for a Total Theatre Award in Physical and Visual Theatre and described as a 'dark, quietly riveting gem of aerial drama' (List).
