Cicadaremix (2008)

Virtuoso point-work and exhilarating speed, bold attitude, smooth sensitivity. Dance and music in exciting counterpoint. Cicadaremix is a tightly structured, rocking double choreography where the classical and the contemporary converge.

Cicada, performed in 2008, was choreographed to Kevin Volan’s piece of the same name, a sensual duet for two pianos. In the creation of Cicadaremix, Cicada was replaced by the heavy electronic rhythms of alva noto’s unitxt, and in the performance the choreography is in stark and exciting contrast to the radically electronic music.
