In Nefés (Turkish for “breath”), the incomparable doyenne of dance-theatre choreographs a series of vivid and voluptuous tableaux inspired by the East-West exoticism of Istanbul. Gorgeous dancers in elegant gowns and sharp suits create riveting dance and seductive images set to a crazy-quilt score which includes tangos, traditional Turkish music, Tom Waits, and electronic pop. Nefes is astonishingly beautiful, a valentine to a “city of water” in which every element — music, movement, colour, light —generates pure pleasure.
