Choreography
Vasco Wellenkamp
Synopsis
Wellenkamp inaugurates a fruitful partnership with Cisne Negro through Keep Going, one of the company's greatest successes, where the flow of dance is taken to extremes, both physical and spatial. Set to music by Luciano Berio, the concept is a continuous sequence of movements that follow one another. The cast transformed these dynamics into a scenic ritual of impressive physical qualities.
