Description |
With Out of Context: for Pina, Platel pays tribute to the style of late German choreographer Pina Bausch, whose visions were infused with bleak wit and tangible vulnerability. Platel has built his masterpiece on a belief in the power of the human body as an emotional tool, as bearer of memory and the raw material for living visual art. On a stripped back stage, nine of his long-time dancers move from order to chaos, dysfunction to inner transcendence while incorporating a little moon-walking, bump and grind and fractured disco along the way. |
