Piece commissioned by Transitions Dance Company, London
Set to an arrhythmic electronic score by composer Tom Monteiro, Duarte’s work invites the dancers to (re)visit and plunder their physical and conceptual memory banks. Humorous, bizarre and off-centre, the piece twists and turns like an unknown river being navigated for the first time. The audience is clearly implicated in the unfolding of this work, playing its part in framing and defining the action.
