Behind The Veil: NICA's Second year ensemble
Second Year Ensemble Show
Welcome to a world where perfection is manufactured, productivity is worshipped, individuality has become a dangerous defect, and every smile has been carefully rehearsed.
Behind the Veil questions the hierarchies and structures within society through the world of a kooky circus ensemble, where breathtaking physical feats collide with dark sattire. Every movement is synchronised, everybody is optomised, and every mistake is unacceptable.
As the mechanisms of this perfectly engineered existence begin to fail, performers reclaim something far more dangerous than perfection: choice and freedom.
