A strange and joyful community comes to life before our eyes. With _Such a Devoted Bunch_, Ruth Childs and Cécile Bouffard immerse us in a collective ritual where bodies, objects and sculptures seem animated by the same fervour. Three dancers move through a living installation of suspended forms, tactile materials, tiny details and gestures that drift between humour, trance and poetry. Here, gatherings become fantastical ceremonies.
Blending popular folklore, fairground imagery and immersive soundscapes, Such a Devoted Bunch creates a space where audiences are invited to look closely at what binds us together, in a collective experience that is strange, yet playful and deeply human.
