Hit & Fall
Choreographic work
2011
A drum set, a man, and a woman: two bodies invade each other armed only with their instrument. Sound reverberates through and dominates the flesh. Defending their territory, struggling against the fall, tearing off from the ground, the bodies, masters of their space, engage a taut dialogue of charged and raw sonic language. Hit & Fall is a visceral outpouring of red ink on white paper.
