The world premiere of a new dance work will be on stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts later this month.

The Shadbolt Centre is presenting Tempus Fugitive, the new work by MACHiNENOiSY Dance Society, Oct. 12 to 15.

Tempus Fugitive is described as "a transcendent work that will captivate audiences as it merges the spiritual with the theatrical, the sensual with the conceptual."

Artistic directors Delia Brett and Daelik Hackenbrook have collaborated with Shadbolt Centre technicians to produce the new work.

"Unfolding in the manner of a science fiction movie, Tempus Fugitive explores aging and memory by juxtaposing visual references to the science fiction Daelik watched as a child, along with his childhood memories of the home environment in which he grew up," the release explains.

MACHiNENOiSY is a contemporary dance company dedicating to researching and creating performances that go beyond traditional notions of dance and theatre, assimilating pop culture, literature and political ideas.

"The poetic muscularity of the choreography often incorporates text (found or written, spoken or sung) to create performances that freely transgress distinctions between pure dance and character-based theatricality," the release explains.

Performances of Tempus Fugitive are at 8 p.m. nightly, Oct. 12 to $15. Tickets are $32 regular, $27 for students or seniors, or $25 for series subscribers. The Wednesday performance is $15.

Tickets are available in person at the Shadbolt Centre box office, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., by phone at 604-205-3000, or online at www.shadboltcentre.com.
