Mondo Cane Commissions

Annette
by Regina Nejman “Vivid….kinkily athletic…explosive…” –Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
“dynamic….compelling…unexpected…” David St.-Lascaux, Brooklyn Rail

Annette and Oliver, two fragmented characters struggle for survival and understanding in this multi-media dance piece, inspired by choreographer Regina Nejman’s own experiences teaching in a psychiatric outpatient program. Methodical and meditative movements combined with a deconstructed soundscape will fill the stage creating a dream-like environment and a search for balance accented throughout by a sense of humor.
