SIFA 2019: Crowd by Gisèle Vienne (Review)

The lines of desire are powerfully drawn over one crazy night at the rave.  While often considered a liminal space of chaos and pure freedom of expression, French choreographer Gisèle Vienne has managed to temper that manic energy and craft a scintillating, multi-layered dance work with Crowd, as we watch the lives of 14 dancers unfold over one night at a rave.

SIFA 2019: Körper by Sasha Waltz & Hans Peter Kuhn (Review)
