"Heart2hearT" by Legendary Gigi Căciuleanu at Battery Dance Festival

We are pleased to present, at Battery Dance Festival, the world premiere of "Heart2hearT", a spectacular show by internationally acclaimed Romanian choreographer Gigi Căciuleanu, on a score by Dan Dediu, the famed Romanian contemporary composer. The performance is a free choreographic duo inspired by one of the founding myths of Romanian identity, the story of the Miorița, symbol of absolute devotion and of the serene acceptance of death. Gigi Căciuleanu offers an original reinterpretation of the famous myth, one that is charged with "poetic energy" and uses the trademark choreographic language that has made him a household name. Through their complex movements, the two dancers imagine a corporeal geometry, like two living metaphors of love and sacrifice, evolving in a timeless universe between Heaven and Earth.
