2Lips and Dancers and Space
A Dance in Four Parts by Robert Wilson with music by Michael Galasso and additional texts by Christopher Knowles and Lucrèce
Premiered on November 10, 2004 at the Grand Théâtre, Luxembourg
Performed in English and French.
2Lips and Dancers and Space was Robert Wilson's first and only collaboration with the NDT III, the part of the Nederlands Dans Theater that consisted of four accomplished dancers over the age of 40. Using his own as well as texts by his longtime friend and collaborator Christopher Knowles, Wilson staged 2Lips in a surreal and minimalist setting, counterpointed by the fun, over-the-top costumes by fashion designer duo Viktor & Rolf. (They collaborated with Wilson again a few years later on the opera The Freeshooter (Der Freischütz).
“got everything
I’m not not going to do this
got everything
I’m not not going to do this
including smoking
got everything
conversation
got a new truck
they are looking at you kid
does drug rehab have everything
unfortunately the answer is yes
unfortunately the answer is yes
I’m sorry and sad the answer to your question is YES what’s more spectacular, the picture or the price
get loaded
get everything
it’s a better way to get cash out of the house
could you jump and introduce yourself
isn’t that beautiful
what a great chair”
