XAVIER LE ROY at EL SAWI

From what I see around, this looks somehow a neglected event from the advertising perspective, and that's why rather than fill it in the weekly Agenda, I decided to have a separate post for it.

The French dancer Xavier Le Roy will present his solo work based on Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring", tomorrow, Sunday May 10, 2009 at 7:00 PM at El Sawi Cultural Centre in Zamalek. The work was premiered in June 2007 in Lyon and has since then travelled to Switzerland, Germany, Brazil, USA, Italy, the UK and other countries.

This is modern dance, and might be different from the kind of performances that many of you associate with the word "dance", but it is not less interesting ... and far more modern! To avoid surprises, it might be worth to have a look at Xavier Le Roy website where you can find details about this work. Just click here!
