Companhia de Dança Deborah Colker - Knot

Part of Tropicalia and bite06

Seduction, passion, rejection and control. Deborah Colker’s new dance work Knot takes us on a twisted journey of desire.

Colker’s 16 dancers unfold their story around a huge sheaf of ropes hanging from above the stage. Their bodies entwine and unroll in ropes, as if they were knots - in a bizarre, inexhaustible fantasy.

Daring precision dominates the second part. After breaking free from the fetters that previously kept them bound the dancers indulge in an elegant liberation dance around a cube with transparent walls.

The exhilarating choreography is enhanced by striking design and a soundtrack that segues from Ravel to Chet Baker, with a layering of Brazilian beats.
