WE ARE AS GODS | Highlights | JAMES COUSINS COMPANY

We Are As Gods
Come together in an explosive celebration of a new world.

Audiences can immerse themselves and party with friends in an electric club atmosphere and discover a maze of rooms, rooftops and secret stairways filled with over 70 of the UK’s most exciting dance talent. Design your night with a medley of local food and drink as tender duets and powerful group performances writhe to the heartbeat of London’s nightlife. Continue with an after party to rediscover the joy of moving together in the dance event of the year.

We Are As Gods draws together James Cousins’ ‘strikingly original’ (The Guardian) choreography with an original music and sound design by Torben Lars Sylvest and Pär Carlsson in the company’s first large scale immersive experience. The show will combine extracts from Cousins’ acclaimed productions form the past 8 years and fuse them with new work in an unmissable event.

The production features recorded poetry by British-Egyptian writer Sabrina Mahfouz which will draw on themes of human connection and intimacy as well as commenting on our responsibility as humankind to come together to build a better future by inhabiting space safely together.
