Stravinsky: Le Sacre Du Printemps - Part 1:Played and recorded by Fazil Say
This work displays a cool, technical precision and musicality. Both theatrical and highly physical it offers a moodiness and texture framed by a structure that is engaging and clear.

“They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself” Andy Warhol
In this dark and funny piece, Brazilian choreographer Cristian Duarte and Transitions Dance Company take inspiration from the worlds of advertising, fashion and pop and reflect them through the manipulating mirror of time. Twisting the traditional audience/performer relationship, they create a witty take on sexualization as currency, which takes a different path with every performance.

MUSIC
Antoine Herniotte
A monochrome setting provides the backdrop for this humorously ambiguous dance piece. Set to a rhythmic electronic score specially composed by Antoine Herniotte, the work hints at dance styles from ballet to krumping. Developed through a game-like choreographic process, the personal inventiveness of each performer emerges, both as part of the group and individually.
