Triptych
Cork Midsummer Festival & Dance Cork Firkin Crane

Triptych

Lewis Major

  • International Theatre & Dance
← back to all events
  • Dance

A meeting of minds, bodies, and movement.

Rising star of Australian dance, Lewis Major joins forces with his mentor, the legendary Russell Maliphant OBE, for an evening of breathtaking physical poetry.

Together, they explore universal rhythms and shifting cycles, performed by Major’s world-class dancers in a hypnotic interplay of light, sound, and motion.

Expect a captivating journey that dissolves the boundaries between internal and external worlds. In this whirling maelstrom of energy, Major and Maliphant create a space where dance becomes both deeply personal and profoundly universal - fluid, expressive, and exhilarating.

A visionary choreographer and director, Lewis Major has presented work on six continents, blending his rural Australian roots with a global artistic outlook. A former collaborator of Akram Khan, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, and Hofesh Shechter, his company’s award-winning performances have left an indelible mark on stages from Sydney Opera House to Sadler’s Wells.

Supported by CreateSA and House of Oz.
