New Creations Season 2
Watching Gat's dance is like keeping track of the hands in a Jason Bourne movie. His whole figure jumps with suddenness and grace - no movement is spare, and there arrives no moment of rest.
Overview
If you don't know Chavela Vargas, you should. If you saw Frida, you saw her threaten death to Salma Hayek, singing the powerful Mexican dirge La Llorona. Sinuous dance piece Soledad centres on the same mournful song and the passion of one couple's relationship. It will be programmed, along with the frenetic duet Irony of Fate and the ensemble piece Satisfying Musical Moments, as part of New Creations Season 2 for the Sydney Dance Company. Soledad and Irony are by Rafael Bonachela choreographer, dancer and director at the Company. Satisfying Musical Moments is by acclaimed Israeli Choreographer Emanuel Gat.
In an interview last year, Bonachela was asked what he'd most like to perform: "Anything by Emanuel Gat" was his reply. Watching Gat's dance is like keeping track of the hands in a Jason Bourne movie. His whole figure jumps with suddenness and grace. No movement is spare, and there arrives no moment of rest. Neither of Bonachela's pieces have been seen in Australia before and Gat's Satisfying Musical Moments is itself a world premiere. All three pieces should bear repeating.
