Deborah Colker Dance Company - Dog Without Feathers
Work:: Deborah Colker Dance Company (S817584175)
Production:: Dog Without Feathers (T0367447073)
Immerse yourself in the vision of Brazil conjured by the Olivier Award-winning choreographer's spectacular new dance piece, a poem in movement. Deborah Colker Dance Company's latest work combines classical, contemporary, popular and ritual dances in a rich and heady mix. The performance blends poetry and spectacular film by Cl?udio Assis with a virtuosic dance troupe covered with mud: 'crab men' who must try to survive in a violent environment. Inspired by poet Joao Cabral de Melo Neto's masterpiece 'Cao sem Plumas', which traces the mythology and people of Brazil's Capibaribe River while evoking all the rivers of the world, the piece is about life on the edge, dehumanisation and exuberance in the face of suffering and tragedy. It speaks of our reliance upon and disregard for the natural environment, and the inequalities of Brazilian life.
