Feathers
T0
A nonsense dance for grown-up children and childish grown-ups. In the theatre. Italian Giorgio Rossi and his multi-national company of five performers create a show that will change the way you think about modern dance for children. They jump, jeer, pirouette, dive and tumble into each other's arms in impossible and hilarious pursuit of a flying feather. This is a show which explores the lovely cruelties, tender foolishness and unsuccessful seductions of everyday life. Rossi is the clown prince of Italian dance. His work fuses the traditions of Italian physical comedy with the sublime aesthetic of Pina Bausch.
Feathers has been described by L'Unita in 1998 as 'a masterpiece...the best dance performance of the year'. Age 8 - adult. Running time 50 mins.
