There is also the chance to see the full-length film The Truth, on Wednesday 27 October 2004, when Ricochet Dance Productions opens its Autumn tour at Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh. Ricochet - renowned for commissioning innovative international choreographers – is touring work by Lucy Guerin (Australia), Paulo Ribeiro (Portugal) and Fin Walker (UK) – live and on film. The screening at Brunton Theatre will be introduced by director Katrina McPherson.
Co-produced by Inverness-shire production company Goat, The Truth is a mesmerising dance film in two parts, with choreography by Ribeiro and Walker. Director Katrina McPherson and editor Simon Fildes intercut contrasting footage of four vivid characters in public and private locations. The edgy, atmospheric score is by Walker’s regular collaborator Ben Park.
Also being performed is This Is Your Life, a live work for six dancers, is the first UK commission from Lucy Guerin, who has made work for Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project and Australian dance company, Chunky Move, amongst others. Known for her inventive and gutsy dance language, Guerin has assembled a series of humorous and poignant scenes from one man’s life – his friendships, his family, his job – to reveal moments of truth in an ordinary existence
