CECILIA BENGOLEA : SAME SAME JOY

Using techniques and forms derived from her recent immersion in the art and culture of Thai boxing, Cecilia Bengolea’s new work expands her interest in the anthropology of dance and movement by extending it from the wet heat of the tropics to the crisp alpine air of Gstaad. Performing in a pool of light and moving images projected onto the snow, her intense and personal choreographies suggest a dance of combat between the body and nature, invention and tradition.
