I went to see Compagnie Marie Chouinard from Montreal Friday night. They danced Orpheus and Eurydice to a full house. The performance was perfect. A beautifully integrated piece using voice, body and costume (accentuating the bare essentials of body) along with great movement, amazing music, exquisite lighting. And lots of fun.
I enjoyed this performance much better than the one last year's bODY_rEMIX/gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS. This was more human. Less props.One of the more fascinating elements (for me) was seeing one of the male dancers with a less than perfect body, with a soft belly. Very nice, very human. That seems to sum up the entire piece for me—very human.
