Diavolo creates large-scale, interdisciplinary performances which examine the funny and frightening ways we interact with our environment. Their performances create an almost cinematic experience of powerful images created by a company of dancers, gymnasts and actors. Their outrageous and surrealistic sets form an intrinsic part of each piece of work. Everyday items such as doors, chairs and stairways provide the back-drop for dramatic movement – leaping, flying, twirling – that creates metaphors for the challenge of relationships, the absurdities of life and the struggle to maintain our humanity in an increasingly technological world.
