MUSIC

Frédéric Chopin “Cello Sonata in G Minor, Op. 65”

A solo set to two movements of Chopin's Sonata for Cello and Piano (op. 65), Doscongio is both fiercely focused and relaxed. Choreographer Robert Moses created his signature work in 1998 about the schism in one man's view of himself. The first movement is his moment of public bravura and the second, his private realization of the fallacy of that image. 

A male dancer is performing on stage, dressed in a white shirt and black pants. He is in a wide stance with his knees bent and arms gracefully positioned, one arm above his head and the other in front of his chest. The background is dark blue, and the stage is lit to emphasize his form and movement.
