?Dark Matter is the terra incognita of our day. Comprising a large part of the observable universe, dark matter affects the speed, structure and evolution of galaxies, yet its nature remains a mystery,? Trafó says of the piece.
The first half of the piece features a struggle between a marionette and its maker in the shadows. In the second half, seven extraordinary dancers mimic the movements of the marionette.
Dark Matters emerges from ?Pite?s curiosity and fascination with the unseen forces at work on mind and body?, Trafó says.
Pite?s Kidd Pivot troupe last performed in Budapest in the autumn of 2008, brining Lost Action to the Trafó.
Born and raised on the Canadian West Coast, Pite is a former company member of Ballet British Columbia and William Forsythe's Ballett Frankfurt.
Crystal?s choreographic debut was in 1990, at Ballet British Columbia. Since then, she has created works for Nederlands Dans Theater I, Cullberg Ballet, Ballett Frankfurt, The National Ballet of Canada, Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, Ballet British Columbia, Alberta Ballet, Ballet Jorgen and several independent dance artists.
In 2002 she formed Kidd Pivot and continues to create and perform in her own work.
