Idiot-Syncrasy by Igor and Moreno

We started with wanting to change the world with a performance. We felt like idiots.

Then we danced a lot. We jumped. We called on the folk traditions of Sardinia and the Basque Country. We sang. We jumped some more. We committed.

Now we promise to stick together. We promise to persevere. We promise to do our best.

Don’t miss your chance to see the critically acclaimed Idiot-Syncrasy as it returns to The Place for one night only. Idiot-Syncrasy is a dance performance by Work Place Artists Igor Urzelai and Moreno Solinas that uses jumping – both literally and metaphorically – to explore our capacity to persevere, care and hope. This show is both playful and serious in how it welcomes audiences, whilst gently demanding that they too are responsible for noticing change and difference.

The show is followed by a post-show talk with the artists.

Idiot-Syncrasy was nominated for the National Dance Awards 2015, the Total Theatre Awards 2015 and it was selected for Aerowaves 2015 and for the British Council Showcase 2015.
