REGIONAL PREMIERE

In CRY WHY two solos merge, intertwine, become a duet and drift apart again. To the dancers Miyuki Shimitsu and Guido Badalamenti on stage, Moritz Ostruschnjak adds the pianist Reinier van Houdt. When they meet, inline skates turn into limbs, arms into legs, Alvin Curran into Yoko Ono and pianos into rooms. A duet of people and objects creates strange and bizarre beings, worlds and stories. Real images and narratives emerge, interrupt, restart. The sentimental, romantic and melodramatic are combined with destruction, violence and rawness. CRY WHY plays with concreteness and abstraction, with originality and stereotype, coating Holiday on Ice in cyberpunk.

With music from piano compositions by
Alvin Curran, ”Inner Cities” and ”Dead Beats”
