RING
SUB.LAB.PRO/ Jenna Jalonen
What significance does the ancient form of the circle have in a contemporary context? Jenna Jalonen and her ensemble of Belgian, French, Israeli, Hungarian and Italian dancers search for parallels between the folk dances of different nations, explore their origins and liberate them from stereotypical gender roles. What does it mean to be authentic today? What can folk dance be without a traditional framing?
