Celebrating his twenty-fifth year in dance, New York-based choreographer and dancer Lawrence Goldhuber premieres TRELLIS, the newest work from BIGMANARTS. TRELLIS peers through the standard love triangle: Roy wants Siri, Siri wants Larry, Larry wants Roy. Working without an existing narrative for the first time, Goldhuber developed the storyline through movement and music alone. What has emerged is an eerie tangle of secretive watching and desire. Following his 2008 work, Sleeping Giant, he returns to the Abrons with this exciting new trio with new music by Geoff Gersh and old music by Skeeter Davis.
The dance piece chronicles a passage of time through three dancers’ (Roy Fialkow, Goldhuber, Siri Peterson) coupling and de-coupling. The architecture of two bench trellises serves as semiopaque walls through which the characters separate and observe one another in circular progression. The imposing structure represents an Eden for the dancers, while additional elements bring the outside world crashing into their reality.
