Choreographed by Katerina Andreou, How Romantic throws fourteen performers into an obsessive dance marathon that probes the limits of endurance, desire and performance. Drawing on 1930s marathon dances, the piece alternates feverish solos, intimate duets and overflowing choral passages, balancing trance-like repetition with sudden moments of order and collapse. The physical score examines love, reality and the ironies of spectacle through a saturated, excess-driven aesthetic. Production: Carte Blanche, the Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance, in partnership with La Bâtie.
