Description "The Age of Unbeauty is a reflection upon man's inhumanity toward man - violence, atrocities, oppression and torture, the plight of refugees and the need to escape are all themes that contribute to this powerfully physical piece of dance theatre. First performed as a work-in-progress at the 2002 Adelaide Fringe Festival, The Age of Unbeauty was described by the critics as "breathtaking" and the dancers as having "irresistible skill and daring"".
