Blending a cappella singing with expressive movement, Gesualdo Passione is a modern creation inspired by 17th century composer Carlo Gesualdo’s work, by choreographer Amala Dianor and Les Arts Florissants, conducted by Paul Agnew.In this story of suffering and love, the body is central. Amala Dianor’s choreography seamlessly blends classical, modern and hip hop movement vocabularies, mirroring the contrast within the music. Six singers from Les Arts Florissants and four dancers from Compagnie Amala Dianor unite past and present in this unique stage creation.
Dance Umbrella audiences will remember Amala’s critically acclaimed past creations – Emaphakathini, commissioned by South African company Via Katlehong in 2023 at Sadler’s Wells, and before that presented his own company’s work somewhere in the middle of infinity in 2019 as part of a mixed bill of works at the Linbury Theatre at Royal Opera House.
