Cullberg Ballet: Figure a Sea
Oct. 15 & 16, Freud Playhouse
One of Europe’s most dynamic ballet companies comes to L.A. for the first time continuing on the foundation laid by Deborah Hay’s score No Time to Fly. Their work Figure a Sea brings together Cullberg Ballet’s dancers in a masterful meeting between Deborah Hay and maverick composer Laurie Anderson.
Setting a digital transcription of the No Time to Fly /duet on a full ballet company, Hay expands As Holy Sites Go into this 21-person adaptation. “Figure a Sea is a meditation on seeing. Seeing music, fleeting incidences, synchronicities, copious input points, collectivity, surprise. It is a space for self-reflection: for seeing oneself seeing”, says Deborah Hay of the work.
Event Date: Saturday, Oct. 15 & Sunday, Oct. 16, 8 p.m.
