Session is a new collaboration between choreographers Colin Dunne and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Drawing upon the rhythmical and sonic aspects of Dunne's traditional Irish dance, these two incredibly diverse performers discover their relational possibilities through an exploration of sound. In Session, the lines between movement and music, seeing and listening become a source of play, creating new modes of sound-making from the graceful to the absurd. Dunne and Cherkaoui are joined onstage by composer Michael Gallen and musician Soumik Datta. Gallen's score draws upon a diversity of sonic and musical sources, threading the melodic eccentricities of percussive dance, timbral noise and sean-nós ornamentation into a larger soundworld that includes overlapping pianos and strings, electroacoustic textures and polyphonic choral performance.

Premiere: 01 February 2019, Théâtre National de Bretagne - Rennes (FR)
