World Festival Premiere — 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.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Louise Narboni moderated by Jonathan Bingham (composer and on SF Conservatory of Music faculty), plus a reception in the theater’s lobby.
Unable to attend? “Rone: L(oo)ping” will be streaming as part of our Encore Online Festival.
