An explosive portrait of human connection.

Colossus is an exhilarating large-scale contemporary dance work by internationally renowned Australian choreographer Stephanie Lake. Featuring up to 60 performers moving as one, it’s an electrifying exploration of what it means to live, move, and breathe in close proximity.

Intricate, intimate, and explosively dynamic, Colossus captures the tension and joy of the collective experience—how we find individuality within the mass.

Following a sell-out premiere at Arts Centre Melbourne, Colossus received standing ovations, five-star reviews, and was named Time Out Melbourne’s #1 show of the year.Its viral video trailer has since captivated millions around the world.

PRAISE FOR

Colossus
"Thrilling and frightening and entirely unforgettable. A monumental talent."
Time Out
"Expansively political and almost microscopically intimate. With this sumptuous and thorny masterpiece, Lake has cemented herself at the heart of Australian dance."
Australian Book Review - Arts Highlights of the Year
"Wildly mesmerising. When the performance comes to an end, there is stillness and a silence as if we’re not exactly sure what we have just witnessed...before a standing ovation."
