'Out of Context - for Pina' by Les Ballets A de la B

…the Gent based dance company featured at the Equilibrio Festival at Auditorium Parco della Musica tonight, performed ‘Primero – Erscht’ – staged on bright green astroturf with vintagey furniture and costumes and a frenetic madly child-like sometimes repetitious but usually bordering on senseless sequence of complex detailed movements that can really thrill and scare you, like the way you feel when you see evidence of the possibility for an alternate reality that is just like yours but unfamiliar, and a bit crazy, where people move and interact in slightly human but mostly exagerated ways – though what struck me most was all of the falling, really fantastic falls, especially the long exaggerated elastic falls of the shortest most acrobatic dancer who would go from entirely vertical on his feet, to laying on the ground horizontal, in the most elaborate of ways – at a certain point even having his chin on the ground with legs flipping back over his back, toes nearly touching his head from the sheer momentum of the movement forward as he hits the astro green ground.
