An enigmatic blend of tap dance, electronics and the supernatural.
If tap dance still makes you think about musicals with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, then Tap Noir will change that in a rapid tempo. This is a piece for one dancer and three stroboscopic lights, connected by contact microphones and piezo pickups. Together they work like an instrument of sorts, enabling the dancer to “play” the light and sound. A tsunami of optical illusions and strange rhythms takes you on a surreal trip, where you don’t know what is real anymore.
Beware, this piece is not suitable for people with epilepsy.
