The Very Last Northern White Rhino
With the utmost aesthetic simplicity, this choreographic solo, inspired by different styles of urban and African dance, questions the very possibility of happiness in the face of the world’s chaos.
When the New York Times journalist Sam Anderson learnt about the death of the last male northern white rhinoceros, he took a flight to Kenya to observe and narrate in detail the daily lives of the last two female representatives of this species. The image of these animals in ignorance of their species’ fate gave the reporter a sense of peace, at a time of global uncertainty.
With the dancer Ouloy, Gastón Core presents dance as excess, as a celebration derived from life. Dance to exhaustion, dance to the end because maybe there is nothing more that can be done.
