2010

Dancers: 8
Music: Tomas Luis de Victoria, E.S. Posthumus

Premiere: Japan America Theatre, Los Angeles, CA

Ekstasis is a piece in two movements: The first, a sublimely spiritual work set to an ethereal choral piece by 16th century composer Tomas Luis de Victoria, and the second, an intensely physical piece set to a driving, percussive score by E.S Posthumus.  Not one or the other, we are both, and with its lyrical adagio and athletic allegro movements, Ekstasis is a celebration of our dual nature.
