Sharp Teeth

Either way, love will leave a mark.

Sharp Teeth is a striking new dance theatre work from the creators of Dynamotion. In this latest collaboration, Lara Fischel-Chisholm and Tom Sainsbury return with a bold, surreal, and heart-thumpingly visual experience that lingers long after the lights go down. This is a show that will make you laugh—just as it sneaks up and rips the breath from your chest.

Because love is both a tender and brutal beast, Sharp Teeth revels in contradiction. It is comedic and heartfelt, delightful and dangerous, raw and absurd. The work moves through a series of vivid, off-kilter vignettes - each moment captures the strange, heightened reality of being in love... and the equally strange aftermath of losing it.

Expect high-octane dance, a genre-bending musical landscape that shifts from pulsing club anthems to aching crooner ballads, and a visual world bursting with outlandish costumes and delightfully unexpected props. Lara and Tom weave their signature character-driven comedy into arresting dreamscapes, creating a piece that feels at once intimate and otherworldly.

Playful, provocative, and emotionally charged, Sharp Teeth exists in a trippy alternate universe fuelled by imagination, physicality, and a deep fascination with human connection. It’s a world where humour and heartbreak sit side by side—and where nothing is quite as it seems.

Sharp Teeth marks the next exciting chapter in a collaboration that continues to evolve and surprise. If you’ve seen Dynamotion, you’ll know these two are something special. If you haven’t, this is the perfect place to begin.
