About This Event

Dance Base presents Anatomy of Survival, a compelling new performance forming part of its vibrant festival programme. This thought-provoking work, scheduled for Tuesday 25 August at 7:45pm, is thefruit of a potent collaboration between acclaimed playwright Vivienne Franzmann and innovative choreographer Frauke Requardt. At its core, Anatomy of Survival delves into the intricate workings of the human nervous system, drawing inspiration from a fascinating and deeply human source. The performance is built upon the detailed eyewitness accounts of a single, seemingly ordinary cafe incident. By dissecting these diverse perspectives, the artists explore the varied and often involuntary physiological and psychological responses that unfold in moments of unexpected stress or drama. Audiences can expect a nuanced exploration of how individuals react under pressure, revealing the hidden complexities of our internal systems. The performance will be staged at Dance Base in Edinburgh. Further information regarding the event, including ticketing and pricing, is readily available on the Dance Base website.
