In association with Derelict and UCLAN, ‘Placebo’ is making it’s way to Theatre 1 at the Media Factory. The performance will portray the effective mechanisms we, as humans adopt in order to stay afloat even everything around us is falling apart.

There will be in total, 7 dancers, dancing to an orchestral sweep of music that combines classical favourites and euphoric club anthems. The dancers will collide, overlap and multiply as they discern the difference between pleasure and pain.
