Five’s the magic number for
MamLuft&Co. Dance at the Aronoff Center on Saturday. In celebration of its
fifth season in Cincinnati, the modern dance ensemble presents Pieces, comprised of five short pieces
from as many national guest choreographers, in addition to a five-part namesake
work choreographed by the company. Unifying themes revolve around divisions
between people and of the self. Call it ironic, then, that Director Jeanne
Mam-Luft says the work is all about relating to one another. “We’ve really
evolved and developed into a very collaborative company,” she says. “It opens
up a whole new world of creativity.” Expect to see intricate duets that you
don’t often see with other dance companies—and those kinds of interactions have
to happen through collaboration. Often abstract, yet universal in exploring the
human condition, Pieces will surely
make you think—and feel.
Saturday, Feb. 25. Tickets: $18-$23. 513-621-ARTS or cincinnatiarts.org.
