The Emperor's New Clothes | TAHI Festival 2022

A high-risk, high-reward dance show not for the faint of heart.

You're invited to The Emperor’s New Clothes to see the world’s most amazing outfits.

See 40-year-old choreographer Sacha Copland dance in the lushest, richest, most sumptuous fabrics in the world. But there is just one catch. These divine clothes, created by the best fashion designers in the world, are completely invisible to anyone who has a high level of acceptance of the current economic system. It’s a high-risk proposition.

Come and be amazed by the splendour of the costumes or come and see absolutely nothing. This is a show for people who like risk, profit and loss statements, outrageous dancing, the cardiovascular system and the deconstruction of power. This is a show for people who love the human body.

Don’t worry, I’m sure you will be able to see the amazing costumes in all their glory.
They really are beautiful.

Choreographer: Sacha Copland | Composer: Tristan Carter | Dramaturg & Script Advisor: Sameena Zehra | Costume Designer: I.M. Faux | Thanks to CNZ & WCC.
