Across the broad expanse of the iconic City Beach, The Ninth Wave is an apocalyptic narrative performed with wild and fearless abandon.

Sitting on the edge of the sand you face out to the sea and the vast performance space of the beach, littered with half-buried cars and other detritus. You watch on as a party bubbling over with champagne-drinking fools wilfully ignores the warning signs of the end of the world. With dancers from The Farm and Co3 performing together, The Ninth Wave unfolds like a scene from Inception, with startling and beautiful images taking us ever deeper into the eye of the storm. Entwined with an original score composed by Regurgitator’s Ben Ely this dance on a smoking volcano is the party to end all parties.

The Farm is a collective of dance and theatre artists who enjoy collaboration as a way to make performance. Their mission: to demystify contemporary dance. Grand in physical scale and apocalyptic in theme, this latest work takes the ideas behind their 2016 Helpmann Award nominated The Last Blast to their fullest and most ominous end.
