Rovaco Dance has announced the company's third evening length production, consisting of their first evening length work. Titled after the Sanskrit word for “desire, wish, longing,” KAMA explores taboo in sex and addiction. An initial merging of abstract concert dance with movement and imagery stemming from contemporary clubbing develops and distorts, representing casual sex with mechanical movement, and the tweaking phase of a high with pathological abandon as two individuals find a brief, profound tenderness that devolves into toxic heartbreak. Drawing from perspectives across sexual identities, KAMA portrays honest and inclusive physical narratives of our universally human quest for pleasure in a capitalist system that desensitizes us to humanity itself.
