One of the contemporary dance world’s greatest collaborations In 2011, Sydney Dance Company return to Canberra with a stunning double bill that once again merges Bonachela’s choreographic talent with composer Ezio Bosso’s raw and potent string-based scores. The fantastic collaboration that delivered last year’s we unfold returns. 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 a new work, 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.
