LOVE

In absolute silence, six dancers in whiteface with scarlet lips are outlined against the electric blue of the narrow platform that serves as the stage. They enter and leave this structure as images and scenes fade into each other in a minimal drama that unfolds to a strict sequence. A scene fades away, making way for new images to appear. Like a cinema clapperboard, their impassive faces invite the spectator to emotional action, and mark the beginning and the end of each sequence. Stuck in place before everything slips away into a series of situations that defy logic, the dancers submit to very demanding movement. A portrayal of stage presence and a living sculpture, LOVE is a highly original and unclassifiable piece of choreography.
