Dance Umbrella - Kammer/Kammer - T2114267194A young man bemoans the frustrations of his relationship with his rock star lover while a university professor tortures herself with fantasies about a female student. Kammer / Kammer is an adaptation of the novel Outline of My Lover by Douglas A. Martin, and award-winning poet and scholar Anne Carson's Irony is Not Enough: Essay on my life as Catherine Deneuve. Kammer / Kammer deploys elaborately choreographed live filming. Video sequences are dispersed throughout the space on wide-screen monitors. Fast classical dance sequences are fused with highly coordinated leaping and tumbling. The work is set to a score ranging from Bach to minimalist composer and long time collaborator Thom Willems. Through multiplied, dislocated space, dancing bodies confront one another as Forsythe combines choregraphic invention with a distinct theatrical vision. | |
