A double bill with Lucky Lartey and Daniel Navarro Lorenzo.
by Lucky Lartey
An exploration of exotification and contemporary masculinity which delves deeply into the collective lived experience of people with diverse backgrounds. A journey beyond 80s multiculturalism and box ticking. This resistance work reclaims identity in the context of contemporary Australia through deconstructing and reconstructing the notion of what diverse contemporary work should look like in a post-colonial landscape.

Set in a fictional future where the natural world has withered away, Orígenes offers a poetic exploration of humanity’s fading bond with a planet that no longer thrives. This dance piece captures the bittersweet beauty of a world where life has ceased to grow, leaving behind only memories—nostalgic echoes of “how good it used to be.” In an era dominated by synthetic imitations, Orígenes mourns the loss of nature while striving to recreate fleeting moments of joy, connection, and hope. Seeking ephemeral beauty and hope in a world forever changed.
Against the reflective backdrop of autumn, misty rains evoke a yearning for roots, friendship, family, and traditions now lost. Meanwhile, sudden bursts of radiant orange sunsets illuminate the possibility of renewal. Bridging the past and an artificial future, Orígenes reflects on origins, loss, and the aching memory of a world slipping away, an attempt to recreate a world that no longer exists and can never again be as it once was.
