An hour of ecstasy, exhaustion and reflection
Experience an evening with two performances signed by the Spaniard Jesús Rubio Gamo. Both pieces deal with the transience of time, but their tempos and expressions are totally different. Be prepared to experience an exhausting duet performed to Ravel’s Bolero and although you have been sitting still trough out the performance your muscles are exhausted. On the other-hand you are invited to enjoy a more deliberative state of mind in the solo number Now, before we get too old and to capture the movements of dance. It will be an hour filled with ecstasy, exhaustion and reflection – the art of dance at its very best.

press QUOTES
“Spanish Jesús Rubio Gamo’s work has seductive and riveting energy. His duet “Bolero” presents two dancers relentlessly pushing each other through fatiguing routines (a combination of constant lightness and hurling/flinging rounds on the floor) far beyond Ravel’s intensifying march of repetition. May it be a metaphor of a couple or an entire people’s will to endure and get out on the other side of the crisis.”
Weekendavisen, Copenhaguen (BOLERO)
“A physical and emotional promenade that departs from total serenity to get to a heartbreaking state reminiscent of Francis Bacon’s paintings”
Omar Khan, Susy Q Magazine (ON Now)
“Classical poses turn into tilts and lyrical, Limon-like flow and everything synergises so that this one person incarnates an entire cosmos of nostalgia, melancholy and bravery for the future.”
Fotis Iliopoulos, Springback Academy (ON Now)
