Byron Perry & Frontier Danceland (Singapore)
‘He has the eye of a cinematographer... he manipulates and atomises the world but is incapable of dehumanising it.’ The Australian (on 'Double Think')
A brand new work from director/choreographer Byron Perry, One Show Only explores how complex systems and patterns can emerge from a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. Spontaneously, tiny rules extrapolate into larger structures, while complex systems can be reduced to a collection of discrete single functions.
Inspired by the cycles and patterns found in the generative systems of nature, One Show Only references the rhythms of the cellular and systematic, as well as life cycles and social patterns. The title refers to the one-off, linear nature of these organic systems and processes – a singular performance of sorts. A performance we’re all part of, with a beginning we missed and an end we’ll never see.
