Cygne - Daddy, I've seen this piece six times before and I still don't know why they're hurting each other
Recorded at the CND 5 October 2006
Robyn Orlin’s Daddy explores politics in the arts in terms of performance empowerment and ownership of space. Six performers fight over the same space while they wait for their director to arrive for a performance. The performers wait in panic five minutes before the show, but the director has not arrived. Their waiting becomes the background against which a collage of dances are set.
The production of Daddy won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance 2003.
It came third in the African and Indian Ocean Choreographic Competition and also won the Jan Fabre Award at the Bagnolet Choreographic Society.
