Rykena/Jüngst: Stripping Bolero (rodeo)
As part of rodeo Festival
Maurice Ravel’s world-famous Boléro is a musical composition that builds to a sustained crescendo and culminates in pure ecstasy. Taking this orchestral classic as their starting point, Rykena/Jüngst embark on a humorous and sensual exploration of choreographic forms of climax in Stripping Bolero. The piece plays with climaxes, breaks them down, reassembles them and, in doing so, weaves together set pieces from well-known dramas, the history of dance and striptease. Dance, sign language and sign language poetry, audio description and erotic storytelling create a world on stage that lies between grand tragedies and tender intimacy.
This multi-sensory yet accessible performance uses seduction and eroticism to create an aesthetic of openness and invitation. The theatre space becomes more intense; tension is built up, then released; climaxes shift; bodies tumble to the floor or tell stories in reverse.
