Martin Del Amo
Never Been This Far Away From Home

Never Been This Far Away From Home fuses intimate story telling with dance that is both tender and intensely raw.

In his new solo show, choreographer/performer Martin del Amo embarks on a journey that charts his fascination with the unknown. Darkly funny and often surreal, del Amo conjures a world in which the exhilaration of leaving behind the familiar is contrasted with the terrifying yet tantalizing prospect of the new. When previously trusted survival strategies fail us, how do we know when we’ve gone too far?

“Martin del Amo’s intelligent and gripping solos live in the memory long after the performance” (Deborah Jones, Dance Australia).
