Cheap Lecture and the Cow Piece at Al Madina Theatre

As part of the Beirut International Platform of Dance (BIPOD) 2013, Al Madina Theatre will be hosting a performance of “Cheap Lecture and the Cow Piece| by Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion.

“Cheap Lecture” (2009) is a rhythmic spoken performance set to music, a tirade about empty hands, audiences, time, repetition and dance and a few other things. It continues the journey Burrows and Fargion began in the first three duets.

“The Cow Piece” (2009) repeats the structure of “Cheap Lecture”. It plays with text, movement and sounds, but also with objects. It is a meditation on dance, music and mortality.
