This powerful 50-minute dance theatre work by Little Dove Theatre is about the impossible act of continuing; about the women who teach us how, and the parts of ourselves that remember. Created by multi-award-winning Canberra director, Chenoeh Miller, with choreography and movement direction by Alicia Melonie Jones and Noa Rotem, The Fool continues Little Dove’s exploration of love and connection as the root system of our being, producing a powerful, transcendent experience that is both deeply personal and wholly universal.
Little Dove dedicates this work to all those who have suffered physical, emotional, mental and/or financial abuse at the hands of others, and give thanks to those individuals and organisations that are working to end the insidious epidemic of intimate partner violence.
