Description

This piece looks at queering moments in dance history through the lens of pop culture. The work sees two young ballet figures undulating in a trance-like state on two plinths or gogo boy boxes. The piece seeks to trouble the line between high art (Greco Roman nude sculptures on plinths) and low brow underground culture (gogo boys on boxes). While the audience is not addressed directly, they witness a courting between these two figures performing a seductive pas de deux. The gatekeeper of these two worlds is exposed when a figure dismounts the podium and positions themselves in the pose of the celebrated sculpture by Edgar Degas, Little Dancer Aged Fourteen.
