The Arts Review ★★★★
Through dance, drums and electronic music this duo embark on a journey of chaos, calm and collaborative climax. Transcending from the guttural to godly, devouring the space with adrenaline, mind-stretching sound and extreme physicality dragged from the pits of hell and conceived through improvisation. They find anchors of duality by shifting power dynamics and raw connection, an escape from the real world by creating their own. Jessie's influences of street and contemporary dance styles and Jason McNamara's street performance practise, invites you to experience the essence of their foundation, the magic within the unknown.
“This is an extraordinary exploration of a body’s response to sound, both poetic and percussive, and Thompson is dazzlingly compelling.
