Three iconic short choreographic works—L’Après-midi d’un faune (Paris, 1912), Grand pas classique (Paris, 1949), and Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux (New York, 1960)—are scrutinized, analyzed, and reconstructed as a choreographic collage, forming a new whole.
Repair is a quartet that focuses on the notion of pas de deux, familiar to us through the history of ballet. The ambiguous title primarily denotes an intention to restore what a dance duet can mean today, taking into account the current debate on gender identities.
At the same time, as a pun, the title implies a re-pairing, as each duet is constantly performed by four dancers.
