Motionhouse presents

Hidden

  • Show Information

Internationally renowned dance-circus company Motionhouse returns to Exeter Northcott Theatre with its jaw-dropping production Hidden.

Thought-provoking and poignant, Hidden explores how, in an increasingly divided world, light can come out of darkness in times of crisis.

At the cutting edge of live performance and digital integration, Hidden is a powerful blend of artforms. Gravity-defying choreography, an emotive soundscape and a shape-shifting set combine with ground-breaking projections to create an immersive world on stage. The fearless performers throw, catch and lift each other with immense precision, thrilling audiences with heart-in-the-mouth moments in this action-packed new production.

Building on the successes of previous shows, including 2021’s major hit, Nobody, the production further develops Motionhouse’s distinctive and visceral dance-circus language, where breath-taking dance melts effortlessly into thrilling circus feats.

Post-show discussion: Tue 10 Feb

Join the Motionhouse creative team and dancers (including Associate Director, Daniel Massarella) for a free post-show discussion facilitated by Martin Berry, Creative Director and Joint CEO of Exeter Northcott.


Hidden is co-commissioned by FABRIC, Birmingham Hippodrome and Warwick Arts Centre. Created with support from the John Ellerman Foundation and the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK.

Motionhouse is supported using public funding by Arts Council England and is a Birmingham Hippodrome Associate Company.
