Dance N° 1
A frivolous game
Dance N° 1 is an exuberant duet by the choreographers Eszter Salamon, who has often appeared at the Kaaitheater and also at Kunstenfestivaldesarts 07, and Christine de Smedt (of Les Ballets C. de la B.). Together they composed an ingenious score that is performed several times and in which the body constantly transforms. The seriousness of the study is countered by a clever carousel of lighting, sound and costume changes that play a frivolous game with the viewer’s perceptions.
