"I drink the air before me, and return Or ere your pulse twice beat."
I Drink the Air Before Me, a new work for the Stephen Petronio Company opens this year’s Dance Umbrella (the annual international modern dance fest that packs London’s venues for the month). Petronio's new work is titled after a quote from William Shakespeare’s The Tempest from the moment in which the sprite Ariel rushes away on Prospero’s errand: “I drink the air before me, and return / Or ere your pulse twice beat.”
I Drink The Air Before Me explores the awesome forces of nature. With unpredictable twists and turns, the ten dancers whirl like the turbulent forces of a storm. When the violent rush of bodies threatens to overwhelm, Mr. Petronio calms things down.
The work features an original score by contemporary composer Nico Muhly.
