THE GYRE
TEATRO ARBEDO - SATURDAY APRIL 27TH 21:30
The Gyre is a duet evolving from one basic action: walking. Gravitating around one shared central point, walking accelerates into a whirling, fathoming the mechanics of a relationship. Persistence and steady transformation unfold into a rigorous, yet fragile complementary score. Fugacious shapes emerge along the orbiting trajectory and coalesce with the subtle design of light and sound. In every instant of a turn, the two performers drift in and out of another, the distinct lines and contours of the bodies blur delicately into one.

Based in Brussels and founded in 2017, Tumbleweed is a collaboration between the Swiss choreographer/dancer Angela Rabaglio and French choreographer/dancer and musician Micaël Florentz. Both were brought through different ways to the field of choreography and complete each other with their respective backgrounds. The Gyre is their first production and defines already extensively their artistic vision.
