Six dancers seek and are sought, hold and are held, and push and pull one another in Jiří Kylián's 27'52" - the work's duration in minutes and seconds. The piece was developed in collaboration by choreographer Kylián and German composer Dirk Haubrich, who used two themes by Gustav Mahler as a point of departure, and incorporated text from sources as diverse as Baudelaire and Bruce Lee, recorded in multiple languages.
"The layers of 27'52" make it quite unique, both to perform and to watch," observes Hubbard Street Dancer Meredith Dincolo. "There is rich, grounded physicality to the choreography, yet abstract qualities in the music, scenery and atmosphere. The juxtaposition of these two characteristics keeps the piece shifting between the real and the surreal."
27'52" returns to Chicago's Harris Theater March 13-16, 2014, part of Hubbard Street's Spring Series devoted to the work of Jiří Kylián along with Petite Mort (1991) and the company's debuts in Falling Angels (1989) and Sarabande (1990).
