I also love Nordic culture so that was an added plus. I arrived expecting a bit of a romp, and at times that's exactly what I found. There were delightfully humorous moments when the dancers broke the fourth wall and spoke to us. There were dancers applying duct tape to the floor, which often constrained the movement. There were distinctive costumes designed by Astrid Olsson. There was gorgeous baroque music -- lute, guitar, and theorbo -- played onstage by Jonas Nordberg. What I loved most of all, however, was the exquisite choreography and the graceful talent of each and every one of the dancers. I also loved how the dancers interacted with Jonas as he played his instruments. The duct tape, in the end, felt more like an unnecessary gimmick. The performance could have held its own without it. (BTW, the above link about the woman who invented duct tape was fascinating! So glad you included that, BAM!)CurlyVhttps://curlyv2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-21313489100596066442015-09-26T20:55:58.076-04:002015-09-26T20:55:58.076-04:00So wisely crafted and deeply felt--thank you.So wisely crafted and deeply felt--thank you.dishman + co choreographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044225720653566546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-67410357281850844192015-09-26T11:51:48.629-04:002015-09-26T11:51:48.629-04:00Elegance is what this exquisite rendition of strin...Elegance is what this exquisite rendition of string baroque pieces and the angular yet fluid movements of the choreography have in common. TAPE will make you forget when and where you are. Only sparks of humor bring you back to here and now, but for a moment, and you don't mind. Refreshingly authentic and truly intimate experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
