Grounded in reality and departing into daydreams, “Rone: L(oo)ping” centers on a sweeping orchestral-electronic performance in Lyon’s grand concert hall led by French electronic music artist Rone. Dancers portray a playful usher, a wistful musician, and a handful of audience members who are each transported by the performance into the inner worlds of their psyches, just as Rone himself journeys from creative spark to full scale performance. As the pulsating score builds, subsides, and surges, each character receives the music and reflects through unique explorations of nature, architecture, and human connection in a range of contemporary dance vocabularies.
