Niels Storm - Solo for Two, Bengaluru September 24, 2011

The use of video is reminiscent of The Purple Rose of Cairo, but the confrontation of the dancer with his own body, which is both humoristic and sad, is actually closer to the most beautiful dance sequence ever, that of Gene Kelly in The Queen of Broadway. In this sequence, Kelly dances with/against his reflection in a store window in which he fantasizes - Etienne Sorin
We are proud to present Solo for Two, the legendary choreography by Storm that has toured worldwide and premières in India at the Inauguration of the Germany in India Year!

Berliner, Storm, expresses the ups and downs of life in an irresistibly humorous and truthful way (Comedy has always been one of his virtues). In this perplexing piece, Storm puts all of his capacities of dancer and choreographer to work. He cleverly teams up with his own video projected image with the use of interposed images. "You Are In Harmony" proclaims, on the big screen, this b-boying emblematic persona, who chose solitude “duo-style”! The video images, shot by Storm himself, become a full-fledged artistic element in this creative piece that is full of surprises. Storm performs on stage and on the screen, on stage and with the screen, with himself and with the audience. Solo for Two is the humorous union of two characters brought together for better or for worse – Niels and Storm – who, be it acrobats, tightrope walkers or robots, enjoy themselves while walking backwards through the city and through life.The choice of electronic and jazz music electrify this incredible composition. - Marie Godfin-Guidicelli
