Lucie In the Sky

Dancers and drones entwine in the provocative and poignant Lucie In the Sky, a world premiere performance by Australasian Dance Collective at QPAC's Playhouse from May 5-13, 2023. 

In this ambitious new work, Brisbane-based Australasian Dance Collective brings art and technology together in a world-first project - where drones are choreographed using human movement patterns to emulate emotions and personalities.

Inviting the audience into a world where humanity and technology share vulnerabilities, hopes and fears, Lucie In the Sky explores the melding of drones and dancers, humanising the drones and bringing the ‘Pixar’ effect into real life.

Complex relationships are thrust into the spotlight, as we explore the balance of power and our deep-seated need for each other. Peers. Companions. Friends. Foes.

Get ready to suspend disbelief during this ground-breaking project with Australasian Dance Collective, as they create a new world on-stage.

Six dancers. Five drones. Endless emotions.
