CandoCo Dance Company (UK): The Journey / In Praise of Folly

     
2000 Ft (Trafó bérlet érvényes)

CandoCo reinvented the boundaries of dance by proving that virtuosity wasn’t confined to the able bodied. (Judith Mackrell, The Guardian)

The Journey, a fast and furious pilgrimage through the emotions, is choreographed by Fin Walker of Walker Dance Park Music. The driving internal momentum is matched by the exhilarating performances of CandoCo’s dancers. Impulses of abandonment are punctuated with moments of reflection, all intimately entwined with the rhythmic score of composer, Ben Park. A complex and arresting journey of discovery.

In contrast, In Praise of Folly choreographed by Athina Vahla is a rich and evocative piece of dance theatre, inspired by the intrigues of Renaissance art. The piece is pervaded by a powerful sense of beauty, coupled with a constant potential for destruction. Dark and intimate imagery, haunting movements and disquieting music make for an atmospheric performance.

About CandoCo Since its formation CandoCo has gone from strength to strength broadening perceptions of dance through an inspirational programme of dance performance and education work. Founded in 1991 by Celeste Dandeker and Adam Benjamin, CandoCo quickly grew from a weekly workshop into the first company of its kind in the UK. Since then CandoCo has worked with a host of internationally renowned choreographers and toured to over 50 countries, visiting Europe, Australia, North and South America, Asia and Africa. CandoCo has won a host of awards for its performance and education work and has received much acclaim from the press, the public and from colleagues in the worlds of dance and education.
