Never seen dance before? Perfect. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just curious, this is the show that might change your mind about dance forever.
The Flock
Roser López Espinosa’s The Flock made its first UK premiere in 2023 landing on Dundee Rep Stage with the fascinating migrations of birds. It is an adventure to move on together and reach a shared goal: to fly through immense landscapes, through the vast open sky. This mesmerising journey returns us to the animal nature of the body. To effort, tenacity, endurance, teamwork, beauty and the spirit of freedom.
