We will present two duets:
Sleepers is inspired by the Walt Whitman poem from his 1900 collection Leaves of Grass. Set to a reading of the poem, this tender duet uses breathtaking acrobatics and exquisite, unexpected shapes of strength to explore how extraordinary and magical moments can be found in ordinary, prosaic experiences.
Purple Mist is an intimate acrobatic duet, suspended between tenderness and power. A sound score (created by Zoë Klein) of high winds and thawing snow turns to thunderous misty rain as a man struggles over the loss of his dearest love. Combining partner balancing with fluid flips, cyclical explosions and tender caresses, Purple Mist evokes the fog of memory and the solidity of passion between lovers.
