A street. Action! The scene begins: a truck rumbles past, music blaring. A dancer sprints, leaps, stumbles – and suddenly the elements erupt. Thunder rolls. Wind lashes. Snow begins to fall. Smoke drifts through the frame. Light flashes against the night. Each take brings a new rhythm, a new pulse, a new spark of cinematic magic.

What’s real? What’s staged? As movement, sound and image collide, the answer keeps shifting.

Created by Argentinian filmmaker Alejo Moguillansky and choreographer Luciana Acuña, Efectos Especiales transforms the street into a live film set where cinema and dance unfold in real time. A camera mounted on a dolly tracks a performer across 300 metres in an unbroken shot – a body pushed to endure, moving forward against forces that refuse to let up.

The audience moves too. A DJ turns a van into a travelling party. At times you’ll run to keep up, then stop to watch the action projected live onto giant screens. Scenes are replayed, reshot, reimagined. Sometimes you’re a witness. Sometimes an extra. Sometimes you’re asked to move, to dance beneath an artificial storm, or to crawl through falling snow as the fiction keeps rolling.

Hailed internationally after acclaimed seasons in Santiago, Valencia and Cádiz, this free, large-scale performance brings the exhilaration of live cinema to Sydney’s waterfront. What emerges is not a tale of heroics, but of persistence – and of what becomes possible when people move, watch and endure together.

No tickets. No fourth wall. Just you, the city, and a camera capturing it all.

“The joy of this production lies in adrenaline rush as the audience pursue the dancer, in the fun of seeing the urban streets presented in a different light, in the game that we are invited to be part of, in the pleasure of dancing along to Depeche Mode, The Clash and The Weather Girls.”
