2 Chapters Love

© Carlos Quezada

Jiří Kylián has left a lasting mark on 20th-century ballet. In Gods and Dogs, Kylián bridges the divine and the instinctual, order and madness, in a radically concentrated manner. The piece explores the fine line where “normal” behaviour tips into the seemingly “bizarre,” revealing the darkness hidden within the everyday. The choreography depicts the struggle of the individual against unleashed energy, the fusion of human and instinct, the opening of a yawning gap between who we are and who we dare not be. In this way, the work becomes a radical, poetic quest for the irrational moment that ultimately makes us human. Sharon Eyal is one of the most distinctive choreographic voices in contemporary dance. With 2 Chapters Love she creates yet another unparalleled experience. Precision, repetition, and compression in the choreography push the dancers to their limits and beyond. Clear lines set to electronic beats transform every movement into a hypnotic pull, where classical technique meets club aesthetics. Love, pain, desire, and loneliness are felt intensely and physically. 2 Chapters Love draws both the ensemble and the audience into a collective rapture that lingers long after the performance. Suitable for ages 10 and above
