For Here not here, Maxine Doyle, internationally renowned for her large-scale, site specific creations with Punchdrunk, collaborates with artist Es Devlin whose large scale sculptural installations have been shown in museums and galleries worldwide – on theatre, opera and concert stages (Bregenz, La Scala, Beyoncé, U2, The Weeknd) as well as the London and Rio de Janeiro Olympic ceremonies. This is their first collaboration.

Act 1 - The Journey

In Act 1 the audience take an epic, labyrinthine journey through the corridors of the opera house, discovering a world of evocative installations and stumbling across dancing bodies suspended in a perpetual limbo.

Act 2 - Main Stage performance

For Act 2 on the Main Stage, the audience will witness the dancers caught in a maze of mirrors, dancing with their demons in search of the light.
