the machine that carries the soul delves into the world of the subconscious. Three young women encounter the body’s physical manifestations of emotional experience through a unique set made only of thousands of eggshells. As they move through a landscape rich in textures and sounds, the differing perspectives of their journey reveals three distinct and unique movement vocabularies.

the machine that carries the soul was awarded Critics Choice for Best Choreography and the 2007 Short Sweet and Dance Festival in Sydney and Highly Commended (runner up, Best Dance/Movement Performance) at The Age Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2006, toured Australia and performed in the UK.

“The machine that carries the soul certainly deserves the reputation it garnered at The Age Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2006. it is mesmerising in its examination of human interaction and feelings. As choreographers and performers, Phluxus Dance Collective unleash a gust of originality into Australian dance.” – P. Escalon, JJJ The Program
