HYPERREAL returns to the stage July 11 + 12 offering in-studio audiences 2 FREE performances as the dance is transformed into a dance film.
HYPERREAL is a dance about: collapsing structures + conflating simulacra — the upholding + unraveling of gestures — learning to discern real + unreal — fantasy as active strategy — dreaming as intervention — world building as survival — shifting myth + un-myth as a portal.
Created during the NC Choreographers Residency Project (premiere April 2026), HYPERREAL (THE RETURN) offers in-studio audiences 2 FREE showings of the dance while the cast/crew simultaneously make HYPERREAL (THE FILM).
Go behind-the-scenes of transforming a dance into a dance film.
