Valse

Valse

With an intense physicality the work is rich with lush, spiraling duets that move seamlessly throughout the piece.

Valse invites you into an atmospheric world with a mysterious language of its own.  The alternate realm created by the dance is latent with passion and a sense of danger. With a hypnotic score each movement builds to a striking and exhilarating finish.
