The Statement by Crystal Pite NDT 1

During the worldwide Coronacrisis, NDT offers a FREE registration of this ballet for you to watch until April 17, 2020. The Statement Choreography by Crystal Pite Dancers: Aram Hasler, Rena Narumi, Roger Van der Poel Jon Bond The Statement is a wedge of realism; cold and current. We recognize both the characters and the language as being of our world and our time. The Statement is a oneact play, with four characters locked in their own battle for control, and with the morality of their actions: they have been tasked with fueling a conflict in a distant country. Character A declares: For generations theyve been fighting. All we did was use it. We used it as an opportunity the attacks for investment. For growth. We used it. Now, being asked to take responsibility for their actions in order to exonerate their superiors, a conflict is rising within their department. Crystal Pite Filmed in 2018 in coproduction with Mezzo and La Belle Télé, directed by Tommy Pascal.
