————————–

(AND)
(AND) is a collision of song, dance and theatre based loosely on Puccini’s opera Turandot. It digs at that awkward emotional space where one both desires and disdains love.

The Fall of the House of Usher
Choreographer Daniela Kurz creates an intense meeting between dance and opera in the strange world of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. Based on the opera by Philip Glass, bodies and voices melt in an exceptional symbiosis of hypnotic imagery. Sung in English.

Swan Lake City
Leading Greek choreographer Konstantinos Rigos’ interpretation of Swan Lake screams ATTITUDE. Swan Lake City develops as the characters present their idiosyncratic lives by the lake.

Le Festin d’Immortalité
A potent alliance of two of Asia’s leading dance forces, Singapore Dance Theatre and Japan’s H. Art Chaos’ choreographer Sakiko Oshima, create a resonating full-length contemporary dance piece to an eclectic musical collage.
