Between Breath & Form

Rafael Bonachela

MERCATS DE LES FLORS, BARCELONA

For the first time Sydney Dance Company will be heading to Rafael Bonachela’s home town, Barcelona, to present his beautiful double bill of 6 Breaths and LANDforms. The company is looking forward to returning to Europe with these works after a sell out season in Germany in May.

In 6 Breaths, Ezio and Rafael focus on the act of breathing as the spirit of life. ‘The first breath is the life breath; the second is breathlessness – out of breath; the third, the crying breath or where breath is interrupted by emotion; the fourth is in the same breath; the fifth breath is a whisper – under one’s breath – and the sixth is last breath.’ RAFAEL BONACHELA

6 Breaths will be presented with LANDforms, where Bonachela and Bosso have drawn directly from their shared response to the drama and evolving forms of the land. They have created a work that promises to be their most moving collaboration to date.
