For the 44th edition of the Festival d’Automne, American postmodern choreographer Lucinda Childs explores her roots and revives her career-defining piece ‘Available Light’. Like ‘Dance’, which was performed as part of the same festival last year, ‘Available Light’ is essentially a melting-pot of the ideas born with the postmodern movement 20 years ago at the Judson Dance Theatre, but one that still appeals to a contemporary audience.
With a two-levelled constructivist stage, a score from John Adams, brilliantly executed dialogues and a clear vision from start to finish, Lucinda Childs creates both an incredibly personal work and an unforgettable show.
