Hourglass
November 5-6, 2022 at 8pm
Chutzpah Festival
Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre, Vancouver, Canada.
A dance performance and concert creation set to the complete Piano Études of the celebrated Jewish composer Philip Glass, one of the most innovative and influential composers of the late 20th century, and choreographed by Israeli director Idan Cohen. This series of miniature études comprises 20 spectacular gems hidden within Glass’ body of work, performed live by award-winning pianist Leslie Dala.
Philip Glass' ability to reflect an abstraction of time, to tell a story without narrative, while showcasing a minimalistic, crystallized approach to rhythm, is enticingly relevant. Hourglass explores the passage of time with an ensemble of dancers of ages ranging from their 20s to late 60s, with a variety of body types and backgrounds. They represent a wealth of knowledge that needs to be seen, both as a response to current times and as a compelling elucidation of Glass’ intent.
This World Premiere of Hourglass was developed through an artistic residency at the Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre.
Supported by: Canada Council for the Arts, Deux Mille Foundation, City of Vancouver, Metro Vancouver's Regional Cultural Project Grants program.
