A full evening work in three parts by Alexander Ekman.<\/p>\n
Choreographer Alexander Ekman is conquering the international dance scene. Four years ago he was said to be \u201ca rising young choreographer to keep an eye on\u201d.\u00a0August 2010\u00a0he created his first full length evening: Ekman\u2019s Triptych – A Study of Entertainment. Three separate works weave through a multitude of expressions, where dance meets dialogue, wit becomes wistful and the meaningful cohorts with the meaningless. What is entertainment?<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my first full-evening performance and it is tremendously inspiring! This is a fabulous opportunity. I want to create an evening that surprises the audience on so many different levels. The work contains three themes with three moods. I have always been fascinated by the difference between art and entertainment, and I will try to get the audience to question entertainment\u2019s clich\u00e9s,\u201d says Alexander Ekman.
