Tower Suites

“Ms Warby is a treasure. She moves with an operatic fullness and emotes with shameless abandon, all the while remaining fascinatingly inscrutable.”

A choreography between dance, voice, cello and film, Tower Suites delves into the hierarchies of our relationships and our lives.

Ros Warby’s new collaborative work brings attention to our often confused attempts to navigate the delicate terrain of human behaviour and the creation and collapse of the ‘worlds’ and structures we build around us.

Archival film of architectural landscapes, both at the pinnacle of achievement and in collapse, share the stage with Warby’s unique performance, the pure and profound vocal work of Ria Soemardjo, and Helen Mountfort’s haunting cello.

Suggesting insights into the values developed by our culture and the possible inaccuracies of these perceptions, the performers’ mature stage presence and compositional intelligence expose the subtle and transient moments of relationship and connection.

Tower Suites is the fifth major work from the critically acclaimed team of Warby/Medlin/Mountfort. Their 20-year collaborative history adds weight and resonance to this finely-judged new work.
