Laurence Pike, in collaboration with award winning choreographer and film maker Sue Healey, will premiere a new work entitled AFTERWORLD at the prestigious Sydney Festival 2025. Pike will be performing music from his recent album, The Undreamt-Of Centre, alongside dancers and projections featuring the final work of Eileen Kramer as Eurydice. It will bring a new dimension to his record based on the Greek myth of Orpheus.
“This project has been in development for a few years now,” Pike explains. “Sue and I had been discussing the possibility of collaborating on a large-scale work together, and when I played her the initial mixes of the album almost three years ago, she immediately said she wanted to choreograph the entire record.”
There will be five performances between January 7-11th at the Bell Shakespeare Theatre, Sydney. Get your tickets now.
To mark the occasion, a live album recorded at Phoenix Central Park with the VOX Sydney Philharmonia Choir will be released digitally in January. Listen to ‘Orpheus In The Underworld (Live)’ now, and watch the video captured in rehearsals by Clemens Habicht.
