About The Chronicles - Sydney Festival 2025
More than just a show, The Chronicles is catharsis, a moment of reckoning, and ultimately, a reflection on hope. This brand-new work from Stephanie Lake Company will linger with you long after the final note fades.
Lake is currently the Resident Choreographer of The Australian Ballet and is one of the most innovative Australian choreographers to emerge in the last decade. The creator of the international hits Colossus and Manifesto (smash successes at Sydney Festival in 2020 and 2023) offers a new epic driven by transformation.
Pulsing with energy and sensuality, The Chronicles explores the cycles of life and the inevitability of change. Twelve incredible dancers meet a masterful electro-acoustic score by Robin Fox, which blends driving rhythms with the stirring, ethereal sounds of a children’s choir and a solo vocalist. Lake’s choreography – her signature blend of explosive dynamism and poetic introspection – navigates these cycles with tenderness and power.
The Chronicles is made not just for the times we live in – but to help us through them.
★★★★★ “Ecstatic and bombastic... a giddy blend of synchronised sharpness and freewheeling rebellion.” – Arts Hub [For Manifesto]
“Pure Genius.” – The Australian [For Manifesto]
★★★★1⁄2 “From the very first beat, the work explodes in seismic waves of motion and rhythm, pulling the audience closer into its sweaty grip.”– Limelight [For Manifesto]
★★★★ “Fun, togetherness and the energy of a stadium rock concert… Thumping good fun” – The Age [For Manifesto]
“Another triumph for Lake, a perfectly realised work that celebrates not just the relationship between music and dance, but also the joy of being alive.” – Dance Australia [For Manifesto]
