Solo — 2010

Direction : Annie Dorsen and Anne Juren

When a French choreographer/performer, Anne Juren, and a New York director, Annie Dorsen, choose to “replay”, using magic, five iconic gestures from the history of ‘60s-‘70s performance, their purpose is not nostalgia or the creation of a repertoire. On the contrary, Magical is a piece that substantially tweaks the feminist discourse of these statements. Is the female body an illusion?
