In Dollhouse, the contemporary dance master and choreographer Bill Coleman portrays a figure whose whole world is literally falling apart all around him. In a room filled with a dizzying clutter of props that collapse and break at his every touch, Coleman shares the stage with the sound artist Gordon Monahan and his unique score. Dollhouse encompasses tap dancing, performance art, sound installation, slapstick, and interactive physical action in which objects deliver disrupting yet riveting rhythms for the ears and eyes. Coleman evokes comic situations towards a mesmerising sonic and visual pandemonium, providing an audiovisual feast for the audience through Monahan’s surreal musical soundscape and landscape. Even if Dollhouse escapes categorisation, it will surely captivate the audience’s imagination with its sheer intensity and innovation.
