Thursday 24th – Saturday 26th April 2025
The internationally renowned dance-circus company Motionhouse returns to Peterborough with its brand-new production, Hidden, a visually stunning and thought-provoking exploration of the internal and external conflicts that shape our lives. Running for three performances only at The New Theatre from 24th – 26th April, Hidden is a spectacular fusion of dance, circus, digital projection, and an evocative soundscape that promises to leave audiences spellbound.
A Story of Conflict, Connection, and the Power of Hidden Voices
At a time when division seems more prominent than ever, Hidden delves into the challenges of modern society, exploring the struggles we face both within ourselves and in the world around us. Through a visceral movement language, breathtaking choreography, and gravity-defying circus skills, Hidden examines what it means to be heard, and whether hidden voices can ultimately push through to the light.
Building on the global success of Motionhouse’s previous productions, including Nobody and Charge, Hidden takes their signature dance-circus fusion to new heights, incorporating innovative digital projections that transform the stage into a living film. The result is a dynamic and immersive performance that seamlessly blends the physical and the digital in a way that only Motionhouse can achieve.
