4/4 is Chunky Move’s blueprint for choreographic precision, physical endurance, minimalist design and rugged street aesthetics.
Eight dancers perform a stark symphony of mesmerising movement against the backdrop of minimalist design. As episode after episode builds upon the last, quartets and duets converge and diverge in ever more hypnotic configurations.
Described by audiences as meticulous, mesmerising and exhilarating, and collecting 5- and 4-star reviews and a Green Room award and nomination, 4/4 is a stunning and unrelenting display of Chunky Move Artistic Director Antony Hamilton’s distinctive choreographic language and methodology.
Following a sell-out 2023 premiere season at Malthouse Theatre, 4/4 returns for three shows only at UMAC’s Union Theatre to once again wow audiences in Narrm, before heading on a six-week tour to some of Europe’s most prestigious theatres.
4/4 is a captivating meditation of scintillating choreography that’s not to be missed.
★★★★★ "Embodied, rigorous and sensorially spectacular, Chunky Move’s latest dance work will linger long past the final beat." – Celina Lei, ArtsHub
