    One of the most distinctive choreographers in the world today, Lemi Ponifasio is a fearless creative force whose work provokes attention and debate wherever it is experienced. Tempest: Without a Body is part dance, part theatre, part ceremony. Tempest is a powerful, visually ravishing and apocalyptic response to the sinister escalation of post–9/11 state powers and the erosion of individual freedoms.
