Citadel Spring Mix Presents
PAPILLON
Choreographed by Helen Simard
What can we expect from the unexpected? What can we recognize in a world governed by unpredictability? Street and contemporary dance collide as three dancers weave in and out of sync through a complex choreographic partition, supported by a live, hypnotic musical soundtrack that blends the sounds and rhythms of jazz, hip-hop and drum’n’bass. Inspired by chaos theory and complex mathematical equations, PAPILLON is an emotional, engulfing reflection on order and disorder, singularity and similarity, metamorphosis, loneliness and togetherness, and the importance of human connection. A powerful performance that will have audiences dancing in their seats.
Approximate run time is 50 minutes.
