SWEPT is a site specific duet which fuses dance, text, music, light and sound. In this physical journey of fun and friendship, SWEPT takes place in the intimate Peacock Theatre foyer bar. Animating these areas offers a new set of rules and possibilities spring boarding the action into a universe where anything is possible. The two performers share a friendly banter and sweep the audience along with them.
