Following a standout performance at Lōemis festival last June, Bleed Out returns with two of Aotearoa's best contemporary dancers, and the music of acclaimed composer David Long.

Bleed Out draws from the figures of the hunter and the huntress. Figures that are both fierce defenders, and relentless destroyers. Skilled custodians, and obsessive pursuers of prey. Bleed Out looks at our own complex relationships to dependence, responsibility and possession. The wild that exists in all of us when we have reached a precipice...

Created and directed by Miranda Manasiadis.

Created and performed by Georgia Beechey and Luke Hanna.
