Tina Satter & Half Straddle

House of Dance

Tina Satter, a rising star of the New York off-scene, arrives at the festival with a piece she has elaborated with her company. Four more or less talented step dancers rehearse in a run-down dance studio and let us in on their unfulfilled desires and pipe dreams of yester-year. The intelligently obser ved ever yday dialogues and the authentic acting make «House of Dance» a true theatre experience: touching, inscrutable, banal — as in life. (esc)
