Michael Estanich’s newest creation for RE|Dance glides on gentle waves of sweet nostalgia and romance, ruffled at points by eddies of humor and the chop of desire. Dancers clad in ankle length dresses or button-down shirts and trousers with suspenders travel through scenes of youthful love, or perhaps more accurately, sepia-toned reflections on youthful love to Bach, birdsong and The Magnetic Fields. In the background, a great monument of peeling wallpaper stands as a symbol of memory and quiet reminder of time as the backdrop to fleeting human emotion. RE|Dance also hosts a performance by visiting Evolving Doors Dance from Denver about struggle—large and small—and its hand in forming who we are entitled “Relative Weight and Tiny Surrenders.” (Sharon Hoyer)
RE|Dance Group at Links Hall at Constellation, 3111 North Western. March 6-8, Friday and Saturday at 7pm, Sunday at 1pm. $20, $15 student and senior. Tickets at ticketfly.com
