Human Interest Story
In Human Interest Story, esteemed local choreographer Lucy Guerin casts her trademark unsentimental eye and articulate choreography upon our consumption of current events, from the ambient burble of the nightly news as dinner is prepared, to the black moments of televised horror that stop us dead in our tracks.
To win one of five double passes to the opening night at The CUB Malthouse, Merlyn Theatre on Friday July 23, tell us in the comments box below why you'd love to see this piece.

Das Racist have grown on me over the past year. I'm feeling that they could be primed for a tilt at crossover success. The vid for Michael Jackson is pretty much the greatest.

This just sounds facinating! I have no idea what to expect with this but would love the opportunity to see it!
i just love contemporary dance and even though i dont of Lucy Guerin the concept sounds amazing! pick me!
i'd love to see this so i can impress my girlfriend when i tell her that i have free tickets.
Structure and Sadness was one of the best dance pieces I've seen in years - am extremely excited about Guerin's latest efforts.
This production sounds rad! Such an interesting concept to cover, i'd love to see how her opinions are portrayed! definately keen to hear reviews about it regardless
Her previous work has had an edge that so many other 'professional's' lack. With such a broad subject, it would be amazing to see how it is presented and what narrative they go with. really interesting stuff.
