A 20-minute intensive and agitated collective dance performed by 50 local participants on a frozen Como Lake as part of the Great Northern Festival.
Dancer/choreographer Dimitri Chamblas’ Slow Show is a 20-minute intensive, collective dance whose movements are minute, precise, and concentrated—inspired by principal roots of trance, exultation, telepathy, and unconscious memories. In this iteration, 50 local participants will respond to their immediate environment on a frozen Como Lake, revealing the strength and vivacity of subtle movements with real-time sound accompaniment made of samples, live electronics, and guitar by artist Eddie Ruscha.
