Postscript

Theatro Bellini, Naples, Italy

14th - 18th April 2027

Postscript is a profoundly lyrical and elegiac dance work performed by PCK founders, James Pett and Travis Clausen-Knight. Leaving the cold digital circuits behind, the scene warms to the baroque notes of Vivaldi's live singing, where the stylistic elegance and magnetic understanding of the two dancers transform into a postscript of the soul.

Company - PCK Dance
choreography and performance - James Pett & Travis, Clausen-Knight

Mezzo - Elizabeth Lynch

production - DANCEHAUSpiù
