Gravity
Give yourself up to this iconic piece by Angelin Preljocaj as it questions the weight and language of dance. Watch as twelve dancers defy physical laws, reeling between resistance and surrender, playing with the strange attraction of the earth, set to music ranging from Bach to Daft Punk. Science and poetry meld in an unforgettable sensory experience.
