About the event
Living Room｜Inbal Pinto Show Introduction
The Asian premiere of an imaginative, surreal and highly controlled duet exploring the unpredictable nature of our everyday reality
Presented as part of our 2023 Freespace Dance series showcasing the work of contemporary women choreographers, acclaimed Israeli choreographer Inbal Pinto’s latest work Living Room is a captivating, whimsical piece exploring the unpredictability of our everyday lives.
Isolated in a sparsely furnished room – decorated with murals created by Pinto herself – a lone dancer questions her body and surroundings. In surreal and dream-like turns, objects take on a life of their own and the dancer’s limbs are compelled by unseen forces, twisting in disjointed puppet-like ways as she tries to master her body and her environment. When another person appears in the room, the push and pull of curiosity, fear and desire sparks an intense duet and a new flight of imagination.
Delicate, precise and highly controlled, the choreography is a tour de force tailored to the techniques of two uniquely individual dancers, Pinto’s long-time collaborator Moran Muller and dancer/ choreographer Itamar Seroussi.
Living Room is Pinto’s first full-length duet work. Conceived during lockdown, initially as a solo piece, it features choreography, costumes and set design by Pinto and original music by cellist and singer Maya Belsitzman, who collaborated with Pinto on the acclaimed production Fugue. The work is an original production of the Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre, Israel’s premier presenter of Israeli and international dance.
Note: A pre-show participatory physical introduction session introducing related choreographic concepts and movements is available on 30 April (2:00pm–2:30pm). This session is open to ticket holders only. Registration details to be announced.
