Ne. Sans Opera & Dance at Streaming online

Choreographer, opera director and Dance Centre Artist-in-Residence Idan Cohen shows excerpts from his research to stage C W Glucks monumental opera Orfeo ed Euridice as an innovative contemporary dance work. Bringing together six dancers, five opera singers, musical director Leslie Dala and costume designer Evan Clayton, Cohens research views Orpheus not as a god, but as an artist a human who looks at the complex and sometimes violent history of western, classical opera and dance with eyes wide open, the dancing body serving as a living example of human strength and fragility.

This pre-recorded showing will share excerpts of work in progress, and a discussion with the choreographer.
