Wrath. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Lust. Envy. Gluttony.

Plunge into a wicked tale of ancient sin unleashed on the modern world.

Internationally acclaimed choreographer, Natalie Weir, and Queensland's Expressions Dance Company ensemble of award-winning dancers take you on a journey through the seven deadly sins in this edgy production, spiced with villainous wit.

Spotlighting the inherent frailty and imperfections that exist in us all, 7 Deadly Sins explores the age-old sinful nature of mankind retold through electrifying contemporary dance.

Natalie Weir’s unique insights into the human condition have earned EDC an impressive ten Helpmann Award nominations, the nation’s top honour for artistic achievement and excellence.

Rich imagery, extravagant costumes, electronic music and breathtaking movement pack an emotional punch in this devilishly delicious adventure.

Produced by Expressions Dance Company and Queensland Performing Arts Centre.
