Dimitri Chamblas: Slow Show - Hosted by The Great Northern

Hosted by The Great Northern, with the support of Villa Albertine, in partnership with the French Embassy; Alliance Française; and The Cowles Center

Sat, Feb 5, 1 pm & 2 pm

Alliance Française is honored to partner with The Great Northern to bring you Slow Show! Dancer/choreographer Dimitri Chamblas’ Slow Show is a 20-minute intensive, collective dance whose movements are minute, precise, and concentrated—inspired by principal roots of trance, exultation, telepathy, and unconscious memories. In this iteration, 50 local participants will respond to their immediate environment on a frozen Como Lake, revealing the strength and vivacity of subtle movements with real-time sound accompaniment made of samples, live electronics, and guitar by artist Eddie Ruscha.
