Dancing Off the Beaten Path

Last year, the British choreographer and filmmaker Darshan Singh Bhuller debuted his stunning Caravaggio: Exile and Death, which combined hyper- physical dance, video, and an edgy, complex soundtrack from a variety of musicians to tell the violent, super-sexualized, lonely tale of the great painter’s life.

Last year, the British choreographer and filmmaker Darshan Singh Bhuller debuted his stunning Caravaggio: Exile and Death, which combined hyper- physical dance, video, and an edgy, complex soundtrack from a variety of musicians to tell the violent, super-sexualized, lonely tale of the great painter’s life.

It often falls to the amateurs to take the most risks, after all – and local audiences should thank the heavens that they do.
