Riot/Soccer/Rock/Dogs
An Archival Collision
Riot/Soccer/Rock/Dogs reconstructs fragments from Lucy Guerin’s incredible back-catalogue, condensing choreography from different time periods into the same temporal space to create a living archive of new, corporeal gestures.
Featuring a cast of 10 exceptional Melbourne dancers, Riot/Soccer/Rock/Dogs unfolds over one hour, delivering an experience that is at once intimate and spectacular.
The show is flexible in its presentation, allowing for performances in the round or end-on, adapting seamlessly to different venues and audience configurations. It premiered at Melbourne Art Fair in February 2024 at Alpha60 Chapter House.
Riot/Soccer/Rock/Dogs is drawn from NEWRETRO, a 3-hour installation which premiered at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA), March 2023.
