Interrobang
is an interdisciplinary dance piece that deconstructs expectations and order. The work offers permutations of formal movement that evoke, change and remove meaning. Interrobang, the title of which refers to the nonstandard punctuation mark (‽), began as an investigation of the absurdist sensibilities of the Dada art movement. It grew to be a study of shifting contexts: comically baroque movement is undercut by plainly emotional music, melodies that verge on the sentimental are rendered uneasy by dissonance and distortion, refined gestures quickly devolve through repetition.
