Through a process of digital transmission of choreography and content to 6 local dancers, Nora Chipaumire brings to Bassano her Dark Swan.
Inspired by the loneliness and fragility of Pavlova’s Dying Swan and by the images of barefoot and bare-chested women trying to escape the violence of the genocide in Darfur, nourished by personal experiences and musical references, this Dark Swan refuses to die, and walks towards its destiny with urgency, ferocity, desire, unleashing its own voice and decisions.

--> Performance streamed online during "B.Motion On Zoom" on August 22nd at 5pm. Followed by live conversation about the online work on the choreography led by Monica Gillette and with Yasmeen Godder.
