Lapped Translated Lines is a collaborative piece with concept and choreography by Rosemary Butcher with filmmaker Daria Martin, composer Cathy Lane, and architects Matthew Butcher and Melissa Appleton, in which the internal senses of performer Elena Giannotti are amplified using sound and video. Destructive Navigations is a free event prior to Lapped Translated Lines, created by Butcher with visual artist Pablo Bronstein.

In a piece that seeks to extend the definition of dance, live performance is set against new film work and a sculptural installation. The choreography of Lapped, Translated Lines was created by Rosemary Butcher and born out of discussions with dancer Elena Giannotti about Darwin and the skeletal structure and morphology of animals. Daria Martin’s film captures the resulting performance in impressionistic fragments and powerfully depicts the inner world of the dancer as she navigates her way through the piece.

Post Works’s stunning sculptural framework of steel and light will act as a viewing frame at the edges of the performance space and a register against which to view the physical movement. This remarkable new work will leave audiences questioning the boundaries between viewer and performer and event and memory; celebrating the processes of translation and transformation as we move between languages, spaces and disciplines.
