Tanja Leidtke's Construct
Candid, complex and clever, construct exposes the dark underside of building a dream. Through dual construction of a house and a relationship, construct fixes a wicked gaze filled with humour on ambition and the curious connections between building a home, a relationship and a future.
Ex-Adelaide choreographer Tanja Liedtke’s final work was initially assisted by Adelaide Festival Centre’s iNSPACE program in its development in 2005. The show was commissioned by London’s Southbank Centre and premiered there to critical acclaim in May 2007 followed by a UK tour, going on to enjoy a sell-out season at the 2008 Sydney Festival and winning two 2008 Helpmann Awards for Dance.
