Synopsis
Bodies tensed then relaxed, balance, aerial movements… this is what the American choreographer Andrew Skeels is proposing in his new creation combining baroque music with the energy of hip hop. To a score of arias by Bach, Vivaldi and Purcell, the five dancers crisscross and come into contact with each other in a potpourri of styles in which pas de deux, arabesque and group dance breathe life into a captivating hip hop ballet. The sense of immediacy is translated by powerful movements that take dance on a sensory journey and project it towards the future.
