2008-2009 Season
Armitage Gone! Dance– Summer of Love
Aug. 8, 2008 Lincoln Center Out of Door Festival, NYC
Summer of Love
Choreography Karole Armitage
Music Burkina Electric
Costumes Peter Speliopoulos
Armitage Gone! Dance, Lukas Ligeti and Burkina Electric join together for a Dionysian celebration in Summer of Love. Armitage’s mix of off-kilter ballet, club dance, and erotica ripple out in waves of fracturing crystalline motion. The music by Burkina Electric combines the burkinabé music of Burkina Faso and Western club electronica. Costumes by Peter Speliopoulos take inspiration from the documentary photography of sixties youth culture by Malick Sidibé in Mali and the hippie movement in the west.
