L Train

sarAika movement collective for Emerging Artists Theatre will premiere a revised version of its contemporary/conceptual dance performance L Train, choreographed and directed by Sara Pizzi & Aika Takeshima. The show is divided into 7 acts, involving dance movements by 6 dancers, theatrical play by a guest actor and MTA recordings. The components are deep bass and rhythmic music selection, acting, which are not often used in contemporary dance works, the choreography is based on partnering, floor work, improvisational skills, storytelling, conceptual art, street dance style influences.

L Train speaks about us – about the uncomfortable common sensation that we are not in control. Even if one moment, right now, is precious, it will not last forever. Everything is subject to change. Where is the stability? At the end, life seems like the L train line: everyone goes in the same direction, but nobody has the same destination.
