Sacred Monsters by Sylvie Guillem, Akram Khan, Lim Hwai MinBackA nickname used in 19th century France for big stars of the theatre, "Sacred Monsters" is now first and foremost a meeting and exchange of two such 'stars' of the present day dance world. Sylvie Guillem -- the Paris-born prima ballerina of our times. Celebrated for her stunning six o'clock leg-lifts, Sylvie amazes with immense strength and lyricism in her contemporary work. Akram Khan -- London's hottest choreographer today. Steeped in classical Indian kathak and western contemporary dance, Akram dazzles with astonishing speed, precision and power. Exploring the boundaries between two great classical dance forms of ballet and kathak with a live music ensemble featuring virtuoso cellist Philip Sheppard, Sylvie and Akram search and enter a tender dialogue in a union of rare honesty. When opposites do attract, sparks fly! Lin Hwai-min, eminent artistic director of Taiwan's Cloud Gate Theatre, adds a sublime touch as guest choreographer of Sylvie's exquisite solo. 8 & 9 June, 8.00pm Esplanade Theatre $120, $100, $80, $65, $45, $30 75mins (no intermission) www.singaporeartsfest.com Category: Entertainment Uploaded: May 17th, 2007 @ 4:19 pm Author: SingaporeArtsFest07 Length: 00:59 Rating: Views: Tags: sacred monsters dance sylvie guillem akram khan lim hwai min Related Video Links:» View Video Comments For Sacred Monsters by Sylvie Guillem, Akram Khan, Lim Hwai Min » View SingaporeArtsFest07's Other Uploaded Videos Video Thumbnails:Video Embedding Code:* Embed this video on your website, social bookmark, myspace, or blog. |
