In a brand new departure for the Gate, I AM FALLING blends evocative contemporary dance from some of Britain’s hottest emerging dance talent, with a story at once shocking and tender. The intimacy of the Gate space creates a thrilling proximity for the audience in a piece that explores the extremes of human emotions and the damage we can cause by loving too much.

Gate Artistic Director Carrie Cracknell collaborates with a team of emerging international and British artists in order to create this compelling new commission.

“this piece packs a poignant punch” Luke Jennings, Observer

“a moving story intriguingly told” Sarah Frater, Evening Standard

“Credit to Edward Lewis's sound, and Katherine Williams's lighting, for whisking us from cliff top to suburban semi in only a bare, black box... the clincher is Garance Marneur's design that frames the stage like a cinema screen”
Jenny Gilbert, Independent on Sunday
