Somos at Sydney Dance Company Tickets
About Somos
Rafael Bonachela’s smash-hit Somos returns for its highly anticipated encore season in our Neilson Studio at Sydney Dance Company.
Selling out during its world premiere in 2023, don’t miss your chance to experience this powerful work that was beloved by audiences and critics alike.
Somos, translated as “we are” in Spanish, is a tender and powerful work, featuring a journey through evocative solos, intimate duets and trios – all imbued with a distinctly Spanish essence. Known for his distinctive emotive pairings, Bonachela’s work celebrates the strength and individuality of the dancers, while delving into the compelling dynamics between them.
Performed in the round and enriched with new poetic moments for 2025, this unique setting allows Bonachela to redefine the traditional boundaries between the audience and the Company dancers to showcase their extraordinary artistry and breathtaking physicality. So close, you can palpably feel the dancers’ emotion.
