If I Can't Dance I'm Not Coming

by Karl Jay-Lewin and Matteo Fargion

12+

A new collaboration by choreographer Karl Jay-Lewin and composer Matteo Fargion. If I Can’t Dance I’m Not Coming reframes Fritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece Metropolis, translating silent cinema into a rigorous choreographic score. Performed by an eclectic ensemble of eight, the work rejects virtuosity in favour of dignity, threading humour, rebellion and flashes of tenderness through a democratic creative process. Extending Jay-Lewin and Fargion’s acclaimed Extremely series, the work resonates with quiet political force. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com
