Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in “Cloudless” by Alejandro Cerrudo

Dancers: Alice Klock, Ana Lopez

A pair of women echo, reflect and shadow each other in Alejandro Cerrudo’s intimate, encrypted first duet for female dancers. Berlin-based composer Nils Frahm’s progression from classical student — scholar Nahum Benari was an early teacher — to contemporary creative artist mirrors Cerrudo’s own path into and through choreography.
