FINAL PERFORMANCES UNDER NACHO DUATO'S DIRECTON
CND2
July 28-August 1, 2010 • SPAIN • U.S. PREMIERE
Madrid-based contemporary dance company CND2 (Compañía Nacional de Danza 2) performs in the company's final engagement under the direction of departing co-founder and Artistic Director Nacho Duato. In April of 2010, Duato announced that by the end of July he would step down as Artistic Director of both CND2 and the parent company CND after founding both companies and twenty years at the helm.
CND2 is a Pillow audience favorite, having made its U.S. debut at the festival in 2003. Known for their "non-stop, eye-popping, full-on dancing" (Albany Times Union) and "dramatic, visually stunning works" (The Boston Globe), CND2 performs Nacho Duato's Kol Nidre, an introspective, spiritual work, and Gnawa, a rousing celebration of Mediterranean dance and music, which was first premiered by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Also on the program is the U.S. premiere of Insected by co-Artistic Director Tony Fabre.
"Duato's gifts include a seemingly unlimited ability to blend tradition and novelty, the familiar and the unpredictable, in works that glide along on their smooth, almost inevitable course, just as they startle and mystify." -Chicago Tribune
