Candoco
People move around a grey table arms overlapping with arms, reaching around each other. There is a grey draped curtain in the background and two other people facing each other mid movement.

An Evening with Candoco

Wed 25 May 2022
Malmö, Sweden
Candoco Dance Company return to the international stage, with a vital and virtuosic double bill from two boundary-breaking New York-based choreographers; expanding perceptions of what dance can be.

In Set and Reset/Reset, a recreation of Trisha Brown Dance Company’s seminal work, the dancers move with dream-like fluidity to a driving Laurie Anderson score.

By contrast, Jeanine Durning’s Last Shelter unfolds uniquely at each performance. In an ever-shifting environment, each dancer’s decision-making from moment to moment is highlighted.

Last Shelter

Witness intimacy, virtuosity and precision in our latest work from Alpert Award winning New York based choreographer Jeanine Durning.
4 dancers are on an all-black stage. They wear loose-fitting sheer grey clothes. The 2 female dancers in front are side-on and crouched down, bending at the knee and upper bodies tilted forward. The front-most dancer holds 2 crutches behind her and rests her cheek on the dancer directly behind her, who holds her front arm at a right angle, as if ready to run. Behind them is another female dancer who is facing away so her back is visible. She holds her right arm straight out to her side, whilst her left arm is held out to the side and bent at the elbow. She is looking at her elbow. A male dancer faces her, and is about to hold onto her right wrist. He is looking at her face.
