About the Show
bang bang
Choreographed and performed by Manuel Roque
bang bang is a personal—and therefore universal—contemporary ritual that allows the body to express itself at its most combative and desperate, at its most free.
A present-day study about surpassing oneself, bang bang is a stage creation for a kamikaze soloist that has resistance as a theme. The work follows a score that is also an ordeal. It both literally and figuratively questions the notion of performance, from the space of representation to the metaphors of our contemporary Western pace of life.
