Trisha Brown Dance Company at SPAC

The company will present: L’Amour au theater: Brown’s latest work is accompanied by sections of Rameau’s opera Hippolyte et Aricie, and set against a backdrop of Brown’s own artwork. The piece features Brown’s signature movement alongside elegant couplings and constantly shifting aerial architecture. Glacial Decoy: Considered a modern masterpiece, this work features a gorgeous rush of entrances and exits set against moving projections of Robert Rauschenberg images of classic Americana. Foray Forêt: Robert Rauschenberg costumes with a metallic-gold finish and light-catching design illuminate this work which The Village Voice explains as a vision of images appearing and disappearing “...the way a bird flashes into sight between trees or a gleaming fish slips to the surface of a pool, then twists and flicks back into darkness.” This is a silent work with the exception of the sounds of a marching band.
