In this exuberant ensemble work, Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen displays his mastery for building dazzling creations from simple motifs and geometric patterns. Driven by the rhythms of Henryk-Mikolaj Górecki’s score, the dancers come together and disperse in a kaleidoscope of endlessly shifting formations that culminate in two sensual pas de deux.
