The premiere of DUPLEX will be presented by Ballett Frankfurt on the 6th/7th of March 2002 at the TAT, Frankfurt. Dancers: Jone San Martin, Fabrice Mazliah Choreography: Michael Klien Music: Volkmar Klien (violin: Wei-Ping Lin; Clarinet: Petra Stump) Programming: Nick Rothwell Costumes: Simon Frearson 6th/7th of March, TAT (Bockenheimer Depot); Frankfurt/Main; 22 30 pm (after the performance of Kammer/Kammer (chor. Forsythe)) Approx. length: 35 Min DUPLEX is a duet inspired by two, seemingly opposed, methods of creation; classical grand pas de deux and new technologies. From the pas de deux it draws the basic structure and emotional rigour and from the new technologies, a contemporary interface for an illustration of two peoples' intimate relationship. [Obligatory DanceTech content: the choreographic components for the piece are mediated via an algorithmic core which provides a realtime visual display for the dancers, and cues and plays the components of the musical score, according to a set of nonlinear constraints which form the overall choreographic structure. This is a variant of the system developed for the Vienna Volksoper commission "Nodding Dog" (http://www.noddingdog.at), where the score was played by the orchestra and the software cued by the conductor. ] More information: http://www.frankfurt-ballett.de http://www.barriedale-operahouse.com
