Zappa Variations
Monday, 24 March 2008 20:11
An exuberant, energetic ensemble work that translates Frank Zappa's singular symphonic music into inventive choreographic episodes. "The energy of the dancers, the mysterious silences and sudden bursts of amusement kept the audience breathless... The dancers seemed to be dancing through an obstacle course. Their arms swayed together until their bodies were intertwined, only to lose their grip on one another until they reach the extent where their fingers are barely touching."
