Zoo is the company of Swiss choreographer, dancer and performance maker Thomas Hauert, here in collaboration with four other European artists. Enhanced Dance to Disguised Music is a highly conceptual piece for the over-fives, matching the playful disjunction of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano (1946-8) with a dancer similarly encumbered by a changing […]
