As the name of this London-based dance troupe implies, « DV8 » is all about taking risks, breaking aesthetic and physical taboos to achieve maximum clarity in their message. In a world where affectation and pretence are prized more than sincerity and genuine success, DV8 exposes the febrile nature of the human condition. Consider this work a scouting expedition on the fault line between illusion and disillusion.
