Premiered in Edinburgh, In the Dust is a triple bill, including Subterrania, by choreographer Tom Dale, Politicking Oath by Freddie Opoku-Addaie, and 7.0, by 2Faced Dance's Tamsin Fitzgerald.

 The work is darkly explosive, and confidently mixes hip-hop and contemporary dance styles. Dale’s Subterrania is inspired by the evocative music of Shackleton, (Berlin-based dubstep pioneer), whose oozing bass lines combines with Dale’s movement to evoke epic images, juxtaposing chaotic urgency with rich warmth and musicality.

Opoku-Addaie’s Politicking Oath explores the ecstasy and adversity of Olympic oaths, national hymns and anthems.

With an original score by Alberto Bernal, Politicking Oath is a funny take on the idea of rivalry, national representation and sport culture. 7.0 is inspired by Fitzgerald’s visit to Haiti, a year after the earthquake’s devastation.

Created in collaboration with composer Alex Baranowski (Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein for the National Theatre, RSC’s Merchant of Venice) 7.0 questions the human reaction to natural destruction: how do we react when everything we take for granted is taken away? 2Faced Dance is one of the UK’s leading all-male, urban contemporary dance companies.
