Details

This unique programme of contemporary dance brings together choreographers from Canada, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands and Wales to present their work in a jam-packed evening of stunning new dance. Foutrement - Combining classical movement with a contemporary approach, Foutrement explores love spoiled by the temptation of forbidden fruit. The choreography embodies the pain that we impose upon ourselves in triangular relationships, when the world is at once cold, tender, violent and harrowing. Running Sculpture - Energetic and synchronized pieces of dance are mixed with sculptural calmness and lascivious movement. A combination of dance, music and lights define a journey between different states of mind in this beautiful pas-de-deux. Batrre le fer - "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. No one listens; they simply lash out." This accelerating duel, danced by two women mixed up in a desperate battle, is about forces and characters, inflexibility and blind struggle. Calon - Chapter regular Cai Tomos returns with this anatomical, emotional and cultural examination of the heart as a symbol we identify with. Calon mixes the scientific with personal stories and celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary moments of human experience. Using dance, moving image, text, sound and objects, Tomos traces a journey of the heart from the beginning to the very last moment.
