The Other Place
The Other Place
National Theatre until 9 November
The play reimagines Antigone within a contemporary family setting, exploring grief, guilt, and buried trauma. Annie returns home to stop her uncle Chris from scattering her father’s ashes, triggering the resurfacing of long-buried family secrets.
Zeldin's approach blends dark, psychological drama with moments of absurdity and horror. The strained family dynamics lead to shocking revelations, including incest and acts of violence, forcing the audience to confront the chaotic and destructive nature of grief. With its claustrophobic set and haunting performances, the play is a tense, unsettling exploration of how unresolved loss can tear families apart

The UK premiere of this utterly distinct work from one of Australia’s leading companies pushes the boundaries of contemporary dance.

With backgrounds in krump, freestyle hip-hop, house and contemporary dance techniques, the diversity in the dancers’ artistic backgrounds, coupled with Hamilton’s striking craftsmanship, highlights a uniquely Australian performance.
