Internationally renowned dance-circus company Motionhouse the London premiere of its latest multimedia production Hidden at Sadler’s Wells East this October. The production further develops Motionhouse’s distinctive and visceral dance-circus language, blending contemporary dance with circus feats, acrobatics and physical theatre. Hidden premiered at Warwick Arts Centre in February 2025 and will tour regionally into 2027.
At the cutting edge of live performance and digital integration, Hidden is a powerful blend of artforms. Gravity-defying choreography, an emotive soundscape and a shape-shifting set combine with groundbreaking projections to explore how light can come out of darkness in times of crisis.
