Cafe Saigon Dance Performance

June sees the first performances of Café Saigon by HBSO Ballet, in collaboration with the Netherlands dance company Gotra. The subject of the new work is a closely guarded secret. The name of the Dutch group, Gotra, is derived from Sanskrit and means “clan.” Members of a “gotra” are believed to share a common destiny, in this case that of making modern dance. One of the two Gotra choreographers working on Café Saigon is Maite Guerin. Both a dancer and choreographer, she has worked in many places including Nice, Lausanne and Maastricht. She was also artistic director of a program, Care to Dance?, for people suffering from Parkinson’s Disease.
