Elvis in C-Major Bourrée
is a dance-theater work loosely inspired by the subversive dance movements
of Elvis Presley. Performed as a tragic and humorous duet for two women with
trembling limbs, the piece translates the idiosyncrasies of Elvis' character
and body language into a quivering and vivacious movement vocabulary.
