Elastic Hearts
Featuring the music of Sia
–
Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre

Raw, radiant and unrelentingly human
Internationally acclaimed choreographer Garry Stewart joins forces with Queensland Ballet to create Elastic Hearts, a visually striking new work set to Sia’s music, reimagined in an orchestral score by Elliott Wheeler and recorded by Queensland Symphony Orchestra. At its centre is Gaia, the goddess of the Earth, whose journey mirrors cycles of destruction, renewal, and transformation. As dancers embody resilience and interconnectedness, the stage itself evolves - forests grow, swings soar, ramps shift, and a monumental pink heart blooms. Emotionally charged and visually spectacular, Elastic Hearts is a celebration of humanity’s power to bend, adapt, and endure.
