Engine | The Mass Ornament by Fran Diaz

Engine unites three extraordinary choreographers; Rafael Bonachela, Fran Diaz and Melanie Lane, for an exhilarating performance that promises bold, fearless dance.

The Mass Ornament by remarkable Berlin-based Spanish choreographer Fran Diaz to Australia for the first time, this hypnotic work, set to the music of Henryk Górecki, reimagines Siegfried Kracauer’s seminal 1927 essay. Diaz compellingly transforms the concept of mass movement into an exploration of connection and collectivity, where individuality coexists, not in opposition, but in dialogue.
