Habitat / Bristol

Premiere 2022, The Galleries, Bristol

Unfolding over two hours on the floors and escalators of The Galleries, in the heart of Bristol’s commercial quarter, naked bodies flick, vibrate and slap against each other to electronic sounds and abstract techno.

Doris Uhlich’s Habitat celebrates unity in diversity. As individuals and as a crowd, performers conquer the space in a choreography that is captivating, highly energetic and, at times, collectively reflective. The empty shopping centre will be transformed into a “habitat” full of unexpected life forms as the audience moves about freely in the available space.

Mayfest presents the UK Premiere of Austrian choreographer Doris Uhlich’s subversive and thrilling work. Supported by Perform Europe - which aims to rethink cross-border performing arts presentation in a more inclusive, sustainable and balanced way.
