Aphasiadisiac

Choreographed by Ted Stoffer
Aphasia - the inability to express or understand thought in spoken or written words.Aphrodisiac - arousing the mood of sexual excitement. - the tongue-tied inarticulacy of love.
Aphasiadisiac..
Devised by choreographer and brilliant former Rambert dancer Ted Stoffer, les ballets C de la B's second Festival performance lifts the lid on the politics and private languages of love. Its impetus is our inability to express its complex and contradictory emotions. Using words, movement, music and physical props Stoffer's quintet of dancers and performers explores this universal experience to a live soundscape composed and performed by the cast itself. In a series of compelling vignettes, they encounter love's less exalted tropes - the illusions, the misconceptions, the denials, the disappointments - yet also the jubilation of true romance.Aphasiadisiac is the slap in the face of love - the stupid, ironic, dangerous things that make it an unfathomable fairytale for grown-ups.
