The work is hard to place, combining intellectual rigour with unexpected humour, but it has its roots in a shared love of musical forms, which they clash against an approach to
\nperformance that is at once open to audience but also anarchic and joyful.<\/p>\n

In Zagreb the two artists will show two recent duets Rewriting (2021) and The Unison Piece (2025). Rewriting is a complex dance of 108 cards, each of which carries a written thought which fuels a simultaneous spoken stream of consciousness, all of it set to music for Casio keyboard. The Unison Piece is an investigation, critique and celebration of doing things together in time, performed at tables with two electric guitars.<\/p>\n

Duration: 1 hour no interval<\/p>\n

Choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion have been working together for many years, creating an internationally acclaimed body of duet work. Fargion has also written music for, and performed with, many other performance makers including Siobhan Davies, Claire Croiz\u00e9, Andrea Spreafico, Mette Edvardsen, Karl Jay Lewin and Helga Arnalds. Burrows is the author of A Choreographer’s Handbook (Routledge, 2010\/2024) and Writing Dance (Varamo Press, 2022), and is currently Associate Professor at the Centre for Dance Research Coventry University.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_blank” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” column_link=”https:\/\/2025.danceweekfestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tehnicki-rider.pdf” column_link_screen_reader=”Tehni\u010dki rider” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” animate=”yes” custom_height=”1″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″]
