Oblivion

Piazzolla’s Oblivion is not about forgetting — it is about what cannot be forgotten. Musicians surround the stage on all sides, forming a living architecture of sound around a single dancer at the center. At moments, Lauren and Charles are almost in conversation: a duet between body and bow.
