Making her first ever visit to the New Territories Festival, Lecavalier presents her recent double bill of duets. The first, Children, conceived by choreographer Nigel Charnock, the unrepentant enfant terrible of British physical theatre, is a playful take on the heaven and hell of a couple where the fireworks are non-stop. In A Few Minutes of Lock, Lecavalier plunges back into her former accomplice Édouard Lock’s extreme, incandescent style of dance. Eleven years after she left La La La, she is spurred by the challenge of its physicality and by the desire to find out “what the body remembers.” Set to the incantatory music of Iggy Pop, A Few Minutes of Lock features three updated duets – excerpts from 2 and Salt – that distil the sheer adventure, intimacy and passion of these pieces.
