In this
poignant tribute to Homo erectus, the explosive French
dancer and former athlete Pierre Rigal, making his New York
debut, writhes, jolts, and bends his way from belly to feet,
turning each stage in the evolutionary process into a daring
poem of perseverance. Production designer Aurélien Bory’s
morphing projections of austere, elemental light define the
limited space within which Rigal can act, as he fights for
what we’ll never again take for granted: the dignity of standing. |
