Vanities Crossing, the compelling creation by Artistic Director and leading Australian choreographer Maggi Sietsma is a seamless dance theatre piece offering an energetic mix of mediums and styles. Based on the Pygmalion stories, it presents a series of contemporary vignettes on narcissism that are witty, eclectic, energetic, humorous and liberating.
