"Eliza
& Charles Sanders are important artists who give us an
alternate view of the world"
— Suzy Wrong,
Suzy Goes See (SYD) & Auditorium
(UK)
“Occasionally an artist emerges
who possess the thrill to surprise. Eliza Sanders is such an
artist… Sanders’ work is a new experience in the lexicon
of dance.” — Peter Wilkins, Canberra Critics Circle
(ACT)
Following on from the success of
Knitting While Sleeping (winner of 2 NZ fringe Awards) and
Feet.Us (which garnered a Fringe awards nomination despite
being only a developmental showing) House of Sand’s newest
work Fear of Eggs will continue to thrill and surprise
audiences with their now-signature visceral performance
style and whimsically absurd theatrical
language.
Children
scorning childhood, the time of wonder, the growing time of
the soul.
Soul of the time, growing the wonder of time,
the childhood scorning
children.
Abstracted
memories from our past lives: lived, reborn, unearthed.
Bodies of flesh and mess experience fragmented stories of
love, loss, nurturing and
nonsense.
The third
in House of Sand’s series of works exploring care,
responsibility and the parent/child relationship, Fear of
Eggs asks how are the moments of a life recorded and
re-lived? On flesh, and on film. Full of evocative nostalgic
images and virtuosic but childlike dance, Fear of Eggs will
appeal equally to first time dance audiences dance
aficionados.
“This is
the show for anyone who’s been too nervous to go to see
modern dance. It offers a variety of audience experiences
all of which give you a fascinating look at an emotional,
impressively physical world.” — Brooke Mathers, Art
Murmurs (of Knitting While
Sleeping)
