NDCWales Presents Afterimage by Fernando Melo Production Info 20 minutes Afterimage is a dance of fleeting images; that uses mirrors to create a unique and beautiful experience of appearance and disappearance. Afterimage shows the audience a series of scenes to evoke a personal response from each person without providing a single narrative. In this beautifully mesmerising dance mirrors are used to create a unique illusion where characters magically vanish and reappear on stage. Heart wrenching conversations are held through body language whilst the characters are separated by distance and time - unable to remain in the same physical space. It’s a haunting reminder of the importance of communication when we feel disconnected.
