DANCE TRIPLE BILL

Compagnie Etant-Donné
BEAUTÉ PLASTIQUE
The female figure; a model of beauty and yet also the site of sacrifice.
This piece introduces a plastic doll to her human counterpart to expose the eternal battle between object and person, body and image and suggests that the mannequin is not what it appears to be…
Selected for Aerowaves 2006 at The Place, London.
Ciento Cinquenta Cuerdas
SILVERY SNOT
Choreographer JOHN SCOTT
The silver trail left by a snail.
As we live we lose things and we change, so that we no longer recognize ourselves, becoming older and weaker.
Three men of contrasting bodies and movement styles attempt to transform or evolve from their normal state, hard as stone, into an intimate, fluid condition.

Ciento Cinquenta Cuerdas
EFECTO MARIPOSA (Butterfly Effect)
Choreographer BLANCA ARRIETA
A sensitive piece which explores the body as an unpredictable and uncertain system full of life and yet constantly threatened by chaos. In this performance Arrieta searches out human emotions through physical presence, movement and the use of the body as the only instrument.
‘Our complex and extremely sensitive emotional system has no order. A body, an unpredictable and uncertain system full of life and constantly threatened by chaos. The rhythm is constant, don’t go faster, let them feel time. Sudden silence moments. Longer and longer. Close your eyes, they will also listen’ – Blanca Arrieta
