Jonathan Burrows & Matteo Fargion July 20, 2007

After the great success of "Both Sitting Duet" Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion collaborated again in 2005 for the piece "The Quiet Dance", which is exactly what it says it is. They move on the stage using the subjects of striding and crouching.

Burrows commentates the moves of Fargion with interjections and sounds, which for their part interfere the course of movement. A "hmm" can change the continuity of their steps, a "ha" may cause new movement patterns, which are out of harmony. The attempt to achieve the supreme discipline of synchronised choreography incurs into a conceptual slapstick comedy. Are these two men sad clowns with the same shirts and dark trousers who read too much Beckett?
