It's a Jungle Out There at Performance Space at CarriageWorks - Performing events

Martin del Amo's performances are like secret gifts, curious pieces placed out of the way that thrill with their mix of play and thoughtfulness. Originally from Germany, del Amo's choreography has been informed from an eclectic itinerary of dance forms - German modern dance, Japanese Butoh and Australian-style Bodyweather - which combine with his sense of humour and gift for storytelling to create engaging performances.

Originally commissioned by the Campbelltown Arts Centre, It's a Jungle Out There drops del Amo into the heart of the city, a leviathan wonderland that is just as beautiful and deadly as the objects of David Attenborough's affection. Audiences are invited to journey with del Amo, as his body and voice contort, pop, rock and whirl through multilayered urban dreamscapes.
