An Australian Dance Theatre production presented in association with Kurinji
Two Blood is a dance work that tells the tale of a forbidden romance through movement, from the blush of early love through the tensions that come of relationships that cross borders, language, culture and time.
A Tagalaka woman and Cantonese man embark on a forbidden love affair forged in the flames of a burning country. Centuries later, their remains are discovered in a forever embrace, setting into motion a sprawling exploration of belonging that pierces the core of our identity.
Created by visionary artists S. Shakthidharan, Daniel Riley and Jasmin Sheppard, who has woven her own family history through the work, Two Blood sees Australian Dance Theatre continue to break new ground with an interdisciplinary ceremony that blends film, music, language and movement across borders, cultures and time.
