‘Almost Hear You Whisper’ was inspired by the Spanish Sculptor Juan Munoz’s work ‘Conversation Piece’ in which bulbous, body-shaped sculptures represent living narrative.
Six performers linked together travel through space and tell each other their fragmentary, quiet stories. The conversation in this piece is focused in silent communication. As the dancers move, like plant bulbs growing and seeking the light, they are connected by threads of inner feeling. Uniformity of design enhances and brings meaning to the emerging expressions.
