James Cousins, one of the UK ’s
foremost choreographers, brings to the Philippine stage two masterpieces of
contemporary dance - Without Stars
and There We Have Been on October 9-10, 2014 at the PETA Theater Center
and October 11-12, 2014 at
the Cultural Center of the Philippines’
Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater).
Taking
inspiration from the troubled relationships portrayed in Haruki Murakami’s novel
Norwegian Wood, There We Have Been ushers the audience into a secluded world of
fragile intimacy and love lost, a drama which finds fruition in Without Stars. Abstract yet lucid,
emotional and clever, Cousins’ pieces chime with a complexity that provokes admiration
rather than confusion.
