We are sitting in the madness of the human experience.
Forgetting we are the guests that the daffodils invited in a long time ago.
We are sitting in stillness and finding the trails.
The trails that will eventually take us home.

Empty-Handed is a contemporary dance piece that explores the journeys of five cosmic characters through themes of darkness, deception, and greed.
Through expressive movement, choreography and storytelling, the dancers create a world that transcends time and culture. Each character guides the viewer through an emotional arc that honours the essence of their personal revolution.

The Firehall Arts Centre presents The Biting School in their premiere production of EMPTY-HANDED. In this new work, choreographer Arash Khakpour and his company conjure up images of everyday life that transcend cultural and historical boundaries.
