In The Quiet Of Us
by Choreographer Georgia Tegou
Commissioned by Sadler’s Wells
Supported by Studio Wayne McGregor through the Resident 6 programme
Where us is me and you, me and myself, us and the world.
A dance and visual art work exploring criticality, where human emotions balance on the edge of miscommunication and connection.
In the Quiet of Us is a dance and visual art performance exploring fragility, the way everything can fall apart in a moment, and how the smallest gesture can hold the weight of everything. Two bodies meet in a shared space: a house, a mind, a world. Their connection depends on precision, on navigating tiny shifts between harmony and miscommunication. As with Tristan who was misled by a mournful song and Theseus who forgets to change his sails, connection hangs on missed signals, fragile moments that carry irreversible consequences.
A cinematic sculpture, created from images of the human brain, mirrors this fragility. Veins, neurons, and pulses flicker with each movement, revealing the brain’s critical architecture: a system where minor disturbances ripple into collapse or new connections. Drawing on the Dance-as-Design practice, the work integrates architectural and curatorial methods in collaboration with architect and curator Andrew Borg Wirth, exploring how bodies inhabit and respond to critical, delicate moments.
The performance is scored by composer Alexandros Miaris, who is developing a hybrid language that places a hyper-modern modular electronic sound world in dialogue with a classical ensemble. Central to this is a prepared-piano technique he is evolving, where Euclidean sequencing drives the instrument into fragile, unexpected patterns—an echo of neuronal pulses and the delicate choreographic architectures Georgia evokes. While the textures shift between experimental electronics and acoustic intimacy, the music’s core remains purely musical at heart: a score that aspires to speak with emotion and clarity beyond concept, holding fragility and connection in sound.
The cinematic sculpture incorporates visual and sonic material from the Tegos Tapes, a rare archive of microneurosurgery footage compiled for educational purposes by surgeon Dr. Stergios Tegos, alongside original unpublished compositions by Vangelis, layering scientific and artistic legacy. In this work, myth, science, and choreographic inquiry come together to explore dependence, vulnerability, and the beauty of what is almost lost, the quiet, critical moments that determine whether we fall together or apart.
Performance Duration: 50 minutes
