After a successful premiere season at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023, Foster Group Dance brings Double Goer home to New Zealand. The latest dance work by award-winning choreographer Sarah Foster-Sproull, with dance heart-throbs Tamsyn Russell and Rose Philpott.
Double Goer (the English translation of Doppelgänger) is a surreal and physically gruelling dance work, that chronicles the meeting, battle, and potential demise of two strikingly similar women. Throughout this 50-minute dance show, the women battle for supremacy through acts of competition, wit, physical agility, and stamina in a terrain of intricately hand painted artefacts. Watch as two powerhouse dancers exert their physical labour, tricks, hustle, and feminist wile in an effort to decimate each other for your entertainment.
