Random Dance Company - Danse Danse Danse - chrysalis/Black Spring/Piano di rotta

Work:: Random Dance Company (S01732669017)


Production:: Danse Danse Danse - chrysalis/Black Spring/Piano di rotta (T1421950997)

chrysalis - K has discovered that he is different from other insects. He thinks, he exists, he wants to become S a human being! Will his love affair with this lost young girl succeed? Basing his film on the latest choreography by the talented young UK dancer Wayne MacGregor, director Olivier Megaton constructs a surprising fantasy world which is half-insect, half-human. The Black Spring questions our way of looking at African bodies in movement. How can we surpass the numerous clichés that arise from our purely Western perception of Africa? Taken out of their usual context and endowed with a certain abstraction, the dancers' movements are filmed in such a way as to reflect very singular experiences. Choreographer Heddy Maalem's latest work Black Spring, stunningly filmed by Benoit Dervaux and interspersed with scenes of contemporary life in Africa, highlights both the political and emotional sensitivities of modern African dance. Piano di rotta - Somewhere between the compelling logic of the mind and the impulsive instinct of the body lies a territory as yet uncharted. Piano di Rotta maps a course through this place, a place beyond the known laws of the universe, an undiscovered country between the sky and the earth. Piano di Rotta is a map of the horizon. Young British filmmaker Jocelyn Cammack teams up with internationally acclaimed choreographer Emio Greco/PC to create a stunning piece of dance for the camera, set in the sands of the desert. Presented in association with BBC Four. Danse Danse Danse will be broadcast on BBC Four on Oct 29,30 2003.
