Kamila

About
Kamila (2017) is inspired by the poetry and music of Leoš Janáček’s song cycle, The Diary of One Who Disappeared. Lavagnino’s interpretation plays with the connection between Kamila (Janáček’s muse and love interest) and the Gypsy. His unfulfilled desire for Kamila generated the emotional intent for the character of the gypsy and her relationship with the young farmer portrayed throughout the song cycle.
Press
"Reminiscent of the museum exhibit, the dancers displayed great control and sustainability, whirling through repeated rotations and turns to signify the farmers constant yearning for the seductive gypsy. Choreographed with a keen sense of romance, the battle of dark versus light wore on tirelessly."
