About Riley Fitzgerald
Riley Fitzgerald presents this raw and unflinching contemporary dance work at the Main House. The piece channels frustration, anger and isolation in a world that feels both hyper connected and profoundly detached. Driven by a rage at conformity and the global suffering witnessed daily, the work confronts the fragile line between civility and chaos, control and collapse. Inspired by moments of collective intensity and social rupture, it unfolds as a visceral physical experience — relentless and deeply personal. The show runs for 60 minutes, is for audiences aged 16 and over, and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A visceral and deeply personal dance work that doesn't soften its edges. If you want contemporary dance that confronts something real — about conformity, connection and the weight of global suffering — this is it.
