In a stark environment three remarkable women reveal and re-invent themselves. With disarming honesty and subtle humour they blur the boundaries between autobiography and fiction and between reality and the show.

Deborah Light is an acclaimed choreographer with a distinctive aesthetic – bold, beautiful and intimate. For HIDE she brings together three outstanding female performers, Jo Fong (Rosas, DV8), Eddie Ladd (Volcano, Brith Gof) and Rosalind Hâf Brooks (Earthfall).

They form, transform and reform.
We watch.
Are they showing themselves?
Do we see them?

HIDE delves under the skin of its creators and audiences to reveal internal worlds. In doing so, it exposesthe multiplicity of human nature and deals with questions of appearance and identity

HIDE premiered at Chapter, Cardiff in Feb 2013. It is touring 2014 – 2015 and has been presented at British Dance Edition, Edinburgh (2014) and Spring Loaded, The Place (2014).

HIDE shortlisted for Best Small Scale Dance Production 2013, Wales Theatre Awards.
