Rachid Ouramdane
TORDRE (WROUGHT)
US Premiere
Thu, Oct 13–Sat, Oct 15
at 8pm
Two of Ouramdane’s longtime collaborators —Lora Juodkaite and Annie Hanauer— perform lonely solos in a haunting duet. Intensely physical performances of hypnotic, whirling gestures foreground the specificity of each woman’s body as she paints a raw, captivating self-portrait. Compelling in its repetition, Ouramdane’s choreography pushes the performers to find the gesture that makes them who they are.
