The Difference Engine (2011)

The Difference Engine (2011) was co-produced by Dance Umbrella.

A vital and captivating interplay between dance, live music, real-time electronics, interactive video and animation. Loosely inspired by Chris Marker’s 1962 time-travel film La Jetee, this work manipulates time and memory by exploring the world’s primordial past, it’s physical present, and it’s technological future. This is the second collaborative project from theatre-makers Zoe Svendsen, Ben Duke, Will Duke and Dario Palermo.

Co-produced by Dance Umbrella and The Gate Theatre with support from The Royal Philharmonic Society, Dance Digital and The Junction, Cambridge.
