Dimitri Chamblas joins forces again with “one of the boldest women in rock” (The New Yorker), musician/songwriter/visual artist Kim Gordon, in the Cowell Theater at Fort Mason Center For Arts & Culture. Their new creation, takemehome, is on tour as part of the Villa Albertine Dance Season.

A work for nine dancers, five electric guitars, and five amplifiers, takemehome takes shape under a luminous zeppelin where silhouettes emerge and disappear. These shadows are the forgotten ones of the great metropolises: prisoners, elders, unproductive ghosts, the neglected, the indecisive. Rendered visible in this device, itself ready to disappear, and embodied by dancers with precise movements, they wander, hesitate, or suddenly assert a vital impulse, display an attempt, repeat it, share it. In these emergences, in this collective isolation, telepathy and intuition maintain communication. Between the lines, under your skin, the driving force of the future and of the living continues to circulate and resist.
