“Every seven years, I rebuild every cell in my body. Every seven years, my life begins again.”

The Leftovers is an intimate and highly physical exploration of love, loss, and the intricate tapestry of experiences and decisions that shape our lives.

This genre-defying contemporary dance work marries breathtaking choreography, evocative music, and stunning life-sized sculptures to create an unparalleled theatrical experience.

Step into an unforgettable evening where you will delve into the ever-evolving nature of identity, leaving you to ponder your own sense of self long after the performance ends.

The Leftovers is the latest masterpiece from South Australia’s award-winning Motus Collective. Featuring an all-South Australian cast and crew, this visually striking work stars four virtuosic local dancers, showcasing the state’s vibrant artistic talent.
