(DT)² makes its first public appearance as part of the Dancenow/NYC Fall Festival 2003 at the Joyce SoHo with “Taming Game,” a duet excerpt from “Pilot’s Dream.”

December 2003

(DT)² makes its  world premiere with “Debut” at the Kitchen in December 2003. The program consisted of three new dances choreographed by Týnek.

“Pilot’s Dream” is a lyric nonverbal modern-day fairy-tale, which deals with themes of transcendence, estrangement and return to self.

“Charge” is an abstract, highly kinetic piece where the dancers are conduits for natural electric forces struggling to maintain a delicate equilibrium. 

“Wardrobe Spectre” is a humorous parody of chance choreographic procedures gone amok that was originally choreographed for performance by Dance Works Rotterdam in the Netherlands and later restaged by Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre.

The Joyce SoHo Theater presents the second full evening-length show of (DT)² - “Camera Illuminata”.  Camera Illuminata consists of five new solos and duets, all inspired by paintings:

“Death and the Maiden” – a male/female duet based on a painting of the same name by Egon Schiele and featuring live performance of a newly commissioned score by Ted Reichman.

“Genesis ” – a male solo inspired by Hippolyte Flandrin’s Young Male Nude Sitting by the Sea and set to Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.”

 “The Pink Tree” – a duet for two women inspired by a painting of the same name by John Currin and performed to Ali Jihad Racy’s “Ecstasy.”

“Trinity”- a male duet taking the form of a series of animated tableaux vivants of ten paintings by Caravaggio portraying the life of Christ and set to music by Heinrich von Biber.

“La Noyee” – a female solo inspired by Edgar Degas’ L’Absinthe with music by Yann Tiersen.
