Towards Dawn at Hollands Dance Festival
Komende donderdag barst de dertiende editie van het Holland Dance Festival los, met als thema Source of Inspiration. Het Korzo theater is een van de hoofdlocaties. Naast vele mooie voorstellingen van o.a. Bill T. Jones, Tim Persent, Samir Calixto en Emio Greco | PC zijn er masterclasses, feestjes en wordt de bar omgetoverd tot festivalcafé.
Gelukkig spreekt de Nederlandse – met flinke wortels in de Indiase cultuur – Kalpana Raghuraman goed Frans. Dat heeft ze zeker nodig voor de nieuwe voorstelling Towards Dawn waarbij ze samenwerkt met de dansers Adonis Nébié en Sayouba Sigué uit Burkina Faso. Afgelopen december is ze naar de hoofdstad Ouagadougou gevlogen om met hen te repeteren. Nu zijn de heren in Nederland voor de laatste fase van de repetities. Aanstaande donderdag gaat dit mooie project in première en is nog t/m zaterdag te zien tijdens het Holland Dance Festival.

Adonis en Sayouba verblijven tot eind januari in de DCR Gueststudios.
Welcome Ado & Sigue!
Starting a fresh year with two new guests in Gueststudio 1 and 3:
Dancers Sayouba Sigue and Adonis Nebie are working on a new choreography made by Kalpana Raghuraman for the Holland Dance Festival 2012. The work Towards Dawn tackles fear and pain head on in the duet with the two dancers from Burkina Faso.
Kalpana Raghuraman has made a duet about the survival strategies of modern man. What do you do if you don’t belong? Or if you don’t feel safe or loved? We like to try to find connection and comfort through sex, food, drink and other addictions, but we also find it easy to build up a ‘social’ virtual life. Kalpana combines her Indian background with the movement material of the two dancers, and walks away from this escapist behavior in a raw and dynamic duet.
Rehearsal period January 9 until January 25, Premiere January 26, performances January 27 and 28 in Korzo.
