Elles

Winner of the Rio Tinto Alcan Performing Arts Award, Dance 2012

Elles is the expression of choreographer Serge Bennathan’s desire to be confronted once again by feminine strength, passion and depth. This work explores the visceral, raw physicality of women coming from different geographical points, bringing with them different approaches and languages of dance.

Music by Bertrand Chenier; set by Jay Gower Taylor; costumes by Linda Chow; lights by James Proudfoot; and produced by Allyson McGrane.
