Sticky

A work of visual theatre, Sticky integrates dance, language, film animation, and choreographed 3-D virtual imaging to explore the nature of bonding and “sticky” situations that arise in long-term romantic relationships. Underlying currents of attraction, repulsion, frustration, and compulsion drive escapism in a world where a couple’s negotiation for power and struggle for identity are contextualized in the current political climate. A collaboration between performers Eun Jung Choi and Guillermo Ortega Tanus of Da·Da·Dance Project (Philadelphia) and choreographer and director Melanie Stewart, STICKY first premiered in Mexico City at the Centro Cultural del Bosque complex. The piece makes its New York City premiere at Gibney Dance.
