HEDWIG DANCES PREMIERES KAOS BY RIGOBERTO SAURA
September 26, 2020 @ 3:00PM — 4:30PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
KAOS probes the human need to generate order out of chaos.
ONE NIGHT ONLY | Saturday, September 26 at 3 PM
Hedwig Dances, a Chicago-based contemporary dance theater ensemble, known for its theatricality and originality, premieres Rigoberto Saura's KAOS, a dance that responds to recent transformative world events and probes the human need to generate order out of chaos.
Saura’s work explores the chaos/order dichotomy by using digital platforms as an alternate and compelling compositional mode that juxtaposes filmed with virtual “live” dance segments.
The dance reflects on the collective fear of exposure to unsafe, chaotic situations as a brave beginning to re-imagine new forms of order.
Henry Labrada, a Cuban-born dancer and musician based in the Netherlands, collaborates with Saura to produce a sound score that fuses pre-recorded voice, electronic music, and DJ techniques.
Each ticket is for ONE individual to view the virtual performance. If you plan to view the performance in your home with family and/or friends, we hope we can count on you to purchase a ticket for each member of the household that will be viewing the performance and post-show discussion on Saturday, September 26.
