Counting To One Hundred & One Flute Note

»(...) a challenging meditation on form and memory, but performed with such droll tension that it's also a deliciously entertaining kind of dance theatre.«

The Guardian

Former Royal Ballet soloist Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion describe what they do as ›handmade and human- scale‹. They build with simple, non-spectacular elements but arrive often at a deceptive virtuosity, radiating delight even as it makes the audience think.

Over the past ten years the two artists have built a body of duets which juxtapose the formality of music composition with a radical and open approach to performance and audiences. ›Counting To One Hundred‹ and ›One Flute Note‹ continue their conversation with the structure of John Cage's ›Lecture On Nothing, at once a homage to and questioning of a way of thinking that has underpinned so much dance and performance in the last thirty years. They have given nearly 300 performances in 29 countries.
