SF Intl Arts Festival: Sasha Waltz & Guests "Travelogue 1: Twenty to eight"
Cowell Theatre
San Francisco, CA
Sasha Waltz & Guests celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2008 and has re-staged its first ever work for a new generation of dancers (it is the Americas premiere of this version of the piece). Originally choreographed by Sasha Waltz in 1993, "Travelogue I - Twenty to eight" is a dance classic, having lost neither volatility nor relevance with the passing of the years. Working with a new generation of dancers, Edivaldo Ernesto, Mamajeang Kim, Florencia Lamarca, Davide Camplani and Maria Marta Colusi, Waltz portrays the lives of five room-mates with humour, aggression and sensuality. Taking the door with them, the dancers fall into the house, climb the walls and fight for position atop the refrigerator.
