presented by Perth International Arts Festival
Australian Exclusive
Choreography by Mark Morris
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
If you could capture the essence of childhood play – the boundless energy; the un-selfconscious immersion in pretending; the relentless inventiveness; the sheer delight in creativity … you’d have the Mark Morris Dance Group in Mozart Dances.
Austin Chronicle
New York’s most acclaimed dance company, Mark Morris Dance Group, visits Perth for the first time with a masterful work that entices, enthrals and uplifts.
Mark Morris is a titan of modern American dance, and when his choreography is matched with the music of Mozart, the result is nothing short of astonishing.
In Mozart Dances, an 18-strong dance ensemble is joined by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and pianists Colin Fowler and Amir Farid in a monumental display of exquisite art. The performance exudes mastery of form – the inevitable consequence of Morris’ artistic and structural genius.
Befitting of Mozart’s compositions are the lightness, surprise and joy of the choreography. Its playfulness and wit remind you that it’s good to be alive.
Mozart Dances is a powerful and stirring performance you feel deep inside. From the soaringly balletic to the exhilaratingly modern, this is dance that turns on a dime.
