Kiss & Cry: Sydney Festival 2015

Kiss & Cry is a sweeping cinematic romance with a twist: its stars are a duo of dexterous, dancing hands, moving with grace and precision onscreen through a series of miniature landscapes. Shot and projected onscreen simultaneously, a sensual small-scale ballet comes to life before your eyes. From prize-winning filmmaker Jaco Van Dormael and choreographer Michèle Anne De Mey, a founding member of Rosas dance company, this story of forgotten love, told from a beautiful tiny world, has charmed audiences of all ages. A moving love story – and a showcase for some seriously inspired handiwork – Kiss & Cry is a gorgeous intertwining of film and dance, as nimble of finger as it is nimble of imagination. Carriageworks Bay 17 22–25 January
