Former Merce Cunningham dancers and choreographers Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener—in collaboration with video artist Charles Atlas—bring their live-dance/3-D video hybrid TESSERACT to Redcat for four performances this week. A London engagement begins at the end of February, 2019.
“The title refers to the four-dimensional analog of a cube, ‘moving from one world to another’ [Riener]. The first half of the show features 3-D footage using a mobile camera rig that moves in conjunction with the choreography, incorporating bits of animation. [In] the second half —a cast of six [dancers performing] in a proscenium setting—Atlas will mix and project real-time live video onto the stage.” — Matt de la Peña*
