Hip hop and Contemporary Dance “Autarcie (.…)”
8pm on May 6
Youth Theatre
11 Ngo Thi Nham Street, Hai Ba Trung District
“Autarcie (….)”,choreographed by Anne Nguyen – Compagnie Par Terre, is a strategy game between frontal dance and free digressions, which confronts two specialties of hip-hop dance: break and popping. The center stage is the rallying point where four dancers unite to build a war dance. The empty space beyond the area of understanding draws them and propels them in search of territory, alliances and hierarchy.
