ON THE FRINGE: Play

POSTED: Monday, September 19, 2011, 11:30 AM

Filed Under: Arts On the Fringe

Somewhere between a seductive choreographed dance and an intuitively improvisational movement piece, Play operates with the Western civilized sway behind Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s technique and dancer Shantala Shivalingappa’s classical Indian (Kuchipudi) form. Subtly screened elements (chess playing, hand waving) appear behind them as they tease, battle giant puppets, and act sexily (not crudely) through what could be the inspiration of Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. Mostly, they react aptly to the grit and slide of the live Euro-World sound-scapes and to each other whether through Marx Bros-like mirror imitation and wildly vivid new steps slithering out of thin air.
