GHOST, the new creation by Barokthegreat (Leila Gharib and Sonia Brunelli) conceived in collaboration with the London-based director-designer Simon Vincenzi, explores the evanescence of an image. It is inspired by footwork culture, a street music and dance style which was born in Chicago towards the end of the ’90s as an expression of resistance and of urban subculture. Footwork sessions are battles in which the dancers defy the audience’s gaze, with music shot at breathtaking rhythms - from 155 to 165 bpm - produced by DJs linked to Juke and House music. With GHOST, through a process of slow abstraction, Barokthegreat highlights the hypnotic side of the practice, in which the dancer’s legs seem to come to life by themselves under the rule of the beat which is also accelerated, as it is composed and produced live by a Roland TR-8S drum machine.
