Butterfly Dreaming Tour - Freq/Point of Contact/Butterfly Dreaming - T02091025785

Henri Oguike - 'one of the brightest hopes of British contemporary dance' (Daily Telegraph) - presents a stunning new triple bill and a hand-picked quintet of world-class dancers. Intense and unusual, yet shot through with trademark playfulness, Freq is a surprising solo piece played out to the music of Chopin. Point of Contact is classic Oguike: sensuality, beauty and sublime movement underscored by Bach's lyrical suites for solo cello. Butterfly Dreaming is a full Company work inspired by the Far East and set to Tan Dun's dramatic Ghost Opera recorded by the Kronos Quartet. Crafted on Chuang-Tzu's famous philosophical conundrum, 'the butterfly dream', it takes wing on a flight of fantasy, exploring the boundaries between the real and imagined. With wit, drama and bold theatrical colour, this is modern dance at its most thrilling and enjoyable.Lighting Yaron Abulafia. Costume Asalia Khadje.

Freq/Point of Contact/Butterfly Dreaming - T01487142819

Freq is an exciting solo piece, the unusual style of the piece is quite a departure for Oguike. A classic piece of Chopin accompanies a dance that is intense yet playful. In contrast, Point of Contact bears all the hallmarks of Oguike’s choreography. Sensuality, beauty and sublime movement are laced together with Bach’s lyrical suites for solo cello. The third piece, Butterfly Dreaming, is a full Company work. Drawing inspiration from the Far East the piece explores the boundaries between what is reality and what is imagined. Set to a dramatic score entitled ‘Ghost Opera’ this is an unusual work full of wit and drama.
