Dance-techTV features Emio Greco | PC: interviews, performance excerpts and documentaries

[Marlon Barrios Solano]

Emio Greco | PC, the mesmerazing and idiosyncratic Amsterdam based company are getting ready for their USA Tour and their New York premiere of [purgatorio] POPOPERA at the Joyce Theater.

From the [purgatorio] POPOPERA event post:
"After their kaleidoscopic HELL (2006), Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten continue their journey through Dante’s Divine Comedy. In [purgatorio] POPOPERA, Bang on a Can composer Michael Gordon enriches the typical EG | PC research on the relationship between dance and music using structural elements from rock music. Six dancers intertwine with gleaming black electric guitars. A cross? A third arm? A lump of suffering? Dancers mutate into instruments. Raging guitars become fragile flesh and blood sound-boards. Chained by strings a crowd of dancers seeks purification in a redeeming rhapsody. [purgatorio] POPOPERA blends raw unpolished musicality with fine physical virtuosity and dissolves the borders of music and dance."
