Ensayo I from Adán Cohen on Vimeo.
Previous rehearsal for video-dance project.
Music: "Bear Hides and Buffalo" by CocoRosie
Maru Garcia - Adán Cohen
I was super excited when I saw this ... just perfect - one of my favorite bands ever (Cocorosie) and Tango improvisation, brought together.
Apparently, this is just a "ensayo", so we will probably be treated to more ... good things happen :)
Apart from the creative musical choice ( who would have tought to Tango at Cocorosie?), I really like the all spontaneous feel, the spontaneous experimentation of movement and the upper body, and I particulary like the fact that we dont see any feet, but still it is very obvious it is Tango we are speaking about.
There is something somehow disconcerting, chaotic and simultaneously harmonic - the connection is not only there, but as well in the end with us, the observer ...
Again, I am just happy to have seen this, and to have the reassurance, that out there (in la Plata.Arg. to be more precise), people are doing new things and taking Tango out of the old dusty days ...
So, heres to mr. Cohen and his vision to bring these two together - Thank you for having this idea!
