Ariel Dance Theatre takes this work to its second stage of development in a fiery collaboration of dance, theater, video and visual art set to an original score by Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski. Gyre deals with the trash we create inside and out, and explores transforming it into something new. This unique collaboration portrays the tale of four people, who in simultaneous catastrophic moments of their life, find themselves at the North Pacific Gyre on an island formed of plastic bags and other discarded debris. Their search to find a way out forces them to see truths they don’t want to confront, and reconcile the damage they find. Reynolds and Stopschinski’s score layers deeply beautiful piano and string pieces with rich melodic compositions that add horns, vibraphone and guitar. Driving percussion sections boldly cut into haunting soundscapes. Lush solos and duets intermingle with larger dances by the six-member chorus. As the unseen forces of nature, the chorus moves with driving sharpness; to free-flowing abandon; to stillness, like the watchful earth. Video designs illuminate the characters’ inner lives and the outer world of the Gyre. Hard-edged and poignant, silly and serious, with surprises along the way.
