About
Lavagnino creates a double male/female duet with angular, taut movement vocabulary to explore the uncompromising aspects of ourselves that extend to our most personal relationships. Scott Killian’s evocative score builds on the dancers' unnerving sense of detachment as they dance with keen attention with one another. Ultimately, we recognize that the conflict will not be resolved, yet their impasse is eerily harmonious.
Press
“In one stimulating motif, the men spin the women rapidly in a penchée arabesque like simultaneously whirling helicopters. Lavagnino delivers functional but not intimate relationships, and the choreographic intricacy and technical prowess of the dancers impresses.”
