UK Premiere. In Krisztina de Châtel’s work, two worlds often collide when fragile bodies are confronted with natural elements. Föld means ‘Earth’ in Hungarian. The setting for this classic of modern Dutch dance is an elevated, circular bank created from over six tons of earth on which the dancers engage in an epic struggle. Attempting to fight their way ‘out’ with enormous physical effort, the six dancers’ strenuous physical exertions can be seen as a metaphor for the eternal conflict between man and nature. The choreography is set to Another Look at Harmony Part 4 by Philip Glass.
