THEY DANCE IN THE DARK is a fluid and flickering show which undulates and ebbs its way through a four-world cosmos of mixed media, with live percussion and electronics. Imagine a party where Oum Kalthoum is french-kissing Prince and Daphne Oram is mixing the drinks. Dark electronic beat-driven journeys with underlying post-colonial queer narratives, with body-oriented performances by deific characters falling into a perfect arrangement of cultivated weirdness.

RENU flits between Berlin and London as an artist, composer, producer, tabla-player and percussionist. Originally working with artists as diverse as Grace Jones, MIKA, Alabama 3 and Tunde Jegede, she has studied with masters of percussion in India, Brazil and Cuba and taking diversions through dance and promoting club nights she has landed in a more electronic realm.
