Duetti
User Profile 
Accompanied by the haunting songs of Björk, Duetti is as the name implies, a series of duets. Sometimes working with the songs and other times existing as 2 separate elements, the dancers execute lyrical duets. The organic nature of the songs from Medúlla refer to the purest essence of something and explore the ritual power of the voice in a way that's primal and elaborate. Several of the songs are sung in Icelandic, which work particularly well with movement. The rolling r's, guttural stops and elongated vowels reflect the alternately chopped and soaring arrangements behind them. Unfettered sensuality winds through the songs, with Björk's voice being miked very closely giving the sense of listening to her from inside her larynx. Choreographer Sue Lewis, inspired by the landscape of Northern Tuscany, has created the duets. Often jagged but occasionally silky and always stunning, the duets unfold in a seamless and intricate order, each one developing from its predecessor. Choreographer: Sue Lewis Dancers: Yvette Halfhide, Lisa Hood, Adam Murphy, Paul Wilkinson, Catrin Lewis, Lucy Kemp and Jon Matthews Music: Bjórk Performed at Cloud Dance Festival on 5 July 2008.
