Press Quotes

"A voiceover introduces Sooraj Subramaniam and Shailesh Bahoran as dancers of Indian origin who have arrived on this stage through different routes... To Elena Kats-Chernin’s vibrant and seductive string quartet score, the dancers initially appear enclosed in a length of gold sari, an embryonic wrap that births them like brothers. At first the cloth connects them, but soon they separate, physically and stylistically. In a marvellously intense section of loops and stops, Subramaniam takes on the formalised language of classical dance while Bahoran invents a gripping, street-inflected idiolect of volatile dislocations and sinewy torsion. Finally they reconnect, not harmoniously but through strange reverberations..."
