Alain Buffard: Les Inconsolés

Created by Dance Theater Workshop (See other events)
French choreographer, Alain Buffard, makes his Dance Theater Workshop debut with Les Inconsolés (The Inconsolable), a work inspired by Goethe's romantic ballad, The Erl-King. In the poem a child dies by supernatural forces while in his father's arms. Creating a place where the extraordinary and miraculous might be possible, Les Inconsolés focuses on the force of early trauma and its recurring images and hallucinations. Accompanied by music from Schubert and Throbbing Gristle, three dancers – including Buffard himself – are in turn victims and torturers, consenters and rebels, children and adults.
