Finders Keepers
General Information > 28 Apr 2009 > Finders Keepers
Concept, direction and design: Raewyn Hill
Light: Marty Roberts, Dramaturg: Duncan Sarkies
Music: Lachrimae Caravaggio, Jordi Savall

Raewyn Hill has stunned festival audiences with two previous dance works and now she brings a premiere dance performance from Hong Kong.

Finders Keepers started at the Yuen Po bird market in Hong Kong, where dozens of men take their caged songbirds to socialise them, for the birds to learn each other’s song and to sing for their supper. The men sit watching and listening with adoration. The dance starts from here but goes on to explore that delicate and intimate balance in our lives between being the keeper or the kept, the lover or the loved.

“My choreography starts from within, and deals with the anxious tension between life and death, love and loss, but always with a sense of hope for now.”
Raewyn Hill

"… powerful, pure and evocative dance. More than this, it is utterly beautiful, in the way we all want life and ourselves to be, and in the way we demand that dance delives fabulous shape and sinew.”
Capital Times – of her earlier Festival work White
