les ballets C de la B — Lisi Estaras's primero

Archived Show

Argentinean dancer and choreographer Lisi Estaras has worked with les ballets C de la B for 12 years. Here she follows up her UK choreographic debut of patchagonia in 2008 with primero – a brand new work inspired by her own attempts to recall her childhood years.

This intimate work mixes dance and text as the personal experiences of five performers are interweaved with children's stories. Intrigued by the way a child's mind can naturally jump from one thought to another, unpredictable and seemingly without logic, Estaras will attempt to translate this state into movement.

"As children, I believe, we are more easily surprised than we are as adults. There are more things to discover, we don't have such a preconceived idea of what things are. With time, situations in our life can become repetitions of something we are familiar with. primero deals with the difficult task of 'forgetting to remember'"
