Costanzo

"subtly atmospheric... very impressive"

Dr Nicolas Whybrow

Costanzo
 
From 'Costanzo/Costanza' in The Facetious Nights of Straparola (Le Piacevoli Notti) 
by Giovanni Francesco Straparola 
Adapted by Polly Boon, Alexandra Rutter and Oliver Davis
Millburn House Studio February, 2011 

Inspired by a gender-bending 1550s Italian fairy tale, we used Pina Bausch's intuitive techniques to explore the expression and performance of gender, identity and sexuality. This was our first collaboration with Junior Cunningham of Motionhouse, whose expertise helped to produce an unsettlingly claustrophobic, intimate piece of dance theatre.
