Apocrifu
February 25, 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$25 – $75In Apocrifu, Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui uses the language of the body to explore the truth of religious texts. Extraordinary dance, heavenly harmonies and a set strewn with books come together in a creation full of mystery and invention.
Performing with Yasuyuki Shuto, a classical dancer from the Ballet of Tokyo, and Dimitri Jourde, a contemporary dancer and circus artist, Cherkaoui brings together distinct universes and opposing dance languages in a performance about the power of words and language to antagonize and divide.
The remarkable polyphonic singing of all-male Corsican vocal ensemble A Filetta provides a beautiful choral backdrop to the movement. While their music celebrates the migrations of language, Cherkaoui’s choreography throws up image after image of the divisions that words create.
