The re-making of Sydney Dance Company continues at full speed as Artistic
Director Rafael Bonachela brings to Canberra his second major work with the
Company.
Inspired by the music of Ezio Bosso, Bonachela was drawn to the parallels
between Bosso's thoughts behind creating his first symphony, featured in the
production, and his own feelings about leaving Europe. 'I wanted to create
a piece about our needs and desires to slowly unfold, revealing ourselves to
those around us,' Bonachela says.
Starting with thoughts of nature, a fear of the unknown, notions of life and
madness, and having nothing to lose, Bonachela worked with the wonderful
dancers at the Company to craft a collective work of exploration and discovery.
'I encouraged them to listen and respond to one another, challenging their
willingness to unfold, or their reluctance to open up to each
other.'
The undeniable chemistry between Rafael Bonachela's combustible choreographic
language and the dancers of the Company has produced a work where rigour,
freedom, strength and precision are deftly combined.
