Flemish choreographer Jan Martens’ conceptually rigorous and dynamically engaging work has been captivating audiences across Europe since 2009. In SWEAT BABY SWEAT he focuses on the all-consuming love affair between a man and a woman; a couple who can’t or won’t let each other go. Played out over an hour, in which a lifetime is passing, we are drawn into this modern mating ritual of two profoundly entwined lives; naïve, and at the same time comforting and confronting. Dance, music, song and video imagery are combined to produce this arresting, tender but painfully poignant study of desire, love and loss.
