KATE FLATT PROJECTS: SOUL PLAY Devised & directed by choreographer Kate Flatt Soul Play is a gentle and intimate dance-theatre duet for one actor and one dancer. The action takes place in the moments following a young man’s untimely death - as if we enter an indefinable moment, common in diverse cultural ideologies between death and the soul ‘leaving’. We follow the man on his ultimate journey, guided by an enigmatic spirit in the guise of a female dancer. At times harsh, at others funny and compassionate, Soul Play asks us to imagine the archetypal idea of ‘soul’ in a contemporary secular world.
