New shows Counting To One Hundred and One Flute Note continue Burrows & Fargion's conversation with John Cage's Lecture On Nothing.
Dance and performance artists Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion describe what they do as 'handmade and human-scale'. They build performances with simple, non-spectacular elements that arrive at a deceptive viruosity, radiating delight even as they make the audience think.
Over the past ten years, the two artists have built a body of work that mixes the formality of music composition with a radical approach to performance. Counting To One Hundred and One Flute Note continue their conversation with the structure of John Cage's Lecture On Nothing, at once as a homage to and questioning of a way of thinking that has underpinned so much dance and performance in the last thirty years.
Supported by Kaaitheater Brussels, PACT Zollverein Essen, Sadler's Wells Theatre London and BIT Teatergarsjen Bergen. Counting To One Hundred and One Flute Note are supported by Arts Council England and co-produced by Kaaitheater Brussels.
