VX18504
CREATED BY ATYP + MERYL TANKARD
PRESENTED BY ATYP AND CARRIAGEWORKS

'... one of the most compelling Australian theatre works I have seen.'
Robin Grove, The Age

VX18504 was the army service number of Sergeant Mick (Clifford Matthew) Tankard, Meryl Tankard's father. In this exuberant and thought-provoking blend of theatre and dance, Meryl Tankard explores the origins of conflict in our society, from childhood cruelty and backyard brawls to the ravages of war. Profoundly moving, this unique theatrical experience speaks to audiences of all ages, amplified by the humour, optimism and boundless energy of a youthful cast.

This new production will be performed by Australia's leading theatre company for young people, atyp, with visual imagery by artist, Regis Lansac.

Meryl Tankard is one of Australia's most internationally acclaimed choreographers. Her vast body of work includes Furioso (Australian Dance Theatre), Wild Swans (Australian Ballet), the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games, Kaidan (2007 Sydney Festival), Tarzan on Broadway, and The Beautiful Game on the West End.
