As I took my seat I was first aware of the sounds emanating from the speakers on either side of the stage: ominous, guttural and pulsing. Was that laughter? Is it outside this room or on the soundtrack? Shifting slightly in tone yet always somehow in the liminal space that defies categorisation, these sounds underpin and continue through, the whole performance.

The Cube as performed by Natassija Morrow, Sophie Sibbons and Brent Rollins also inhabits a space somewhere beyond the mind and understanding. The whole point of this art, I would guess, is to be pulling at the all too human desire for pattern and narrative and thereby weaving us into the fabric of the piece itself.

Shortly after taking my seat, I saw the pile of humans stage left. Only when the lights started did they begin to move at first only one person going into and exploring the cube. The other two follow and all three are separately (and later collectively) experiencing this pull by the energy of the cube.

Each character ventures into the skeletal, industrial, fabricated cube, lights and sounds pushing and pulling at them, maybe distressing, maybe beguiling. Is this what happens to us all: character-building vignettes and experiences? Is The Cube our mind space?

Later we get prolonged scenes of coordinated movement leaving us all panting for breath. And, frankly, wanting to go out dancing.

In various ways, it is said that dance is the highest form of art and tonight I was able to feel that. Having the mind bypassed leaves the guts, heart and emotions able to freely engage without interference. It’s a half-hour of fluid, strong, precise movement. Sound is designed to enhance, lit to elevate and perhaps add more possibilities of interpretation.

The audience is free to make up its own mind and does, out loud. “That’s amazing.” “Fantastic!” “Phew.”

Positive psychology is currently looking at feelings of awe and how that feeling can enhance well-being. At points in this performance, the demonstration of beautiful human movement made awe all the more apparent.
