'The Black Album' by Avant Garde Dance

The British Council will present ‘The Black Album’ by Avant Garde Dance as part of Impulse 2 and The Park’s New Festival 2014 on November 18, 7p.m., at Museum Theatre, Egmore .

“The Black Album is a triple-bill in which three distinctly different hip hop choreographies are woven together like a concept album. In Omega(25 minutes) five dancers and five columns of light improvise and respond to experimental DJs Jazzanova. Classical Break(20 minutes) presents a humorous and cheeky partnership between breakdance and the music of Beethoven, Mozart and Prokofiev. Dark Matter(20 minutes) is abstract and visually captivating, and unleashes the inner darkness of eight powerful dancers. Prowling the perimeter of the stage and playing amongst the shadows, the dancers make you see the music you cannot hear”, says a press release.

Passes are available at the British Council, 737 Anna Salai, Chennai, The Swingers, 6th Floor Chella Mall, Sir Thyagaraya Road, T Nagar, Chennai, The Park, 601 Anna Salai, Chennai.
