Last Touch First - T323963528Jiri Kylian, world famous choreographer and previous director of Nederlands Dans Theater, is celebrated for exploring the creative potential of older performers. Last Touch First, created with [Michael Schumacher], focuses on three couples and unfolds like an eerie, slow-motion Victorian melodrama. A moving and aesthetically beautiful piece, Last Touch First explores the desperation and madness of six lonely characters who find a sense of togetherness as the work progresses. Set to an evocative soundtrack this Holland Dance Festival production recalls the plays of Anton Chekhov, a central inspiration to the choreographers. In this intimate work, the technical brilliance of the dancers and the extravagant costumes and scenery create a dramatic and gripping atmosphere. UK Premiere. | |
