'Blind Passion' - Jenni Wren and Phil Sanger
The Place, London - Monday 8 February 2010
Powerful and seductive Slanjayvah Danza's Blind Passion is quite literally that; a fiery display of intricate Tango and Contemporary acrobatics, danced blindfolded by skilled performers and choreographers, Jenni Wren and Phil Sanger. Wearing only flesh coloured thongs, the sightless couple guide each other with trust and grace into seamless lifts and balances. Whilst their almost nakedness temporarily distracts from their more remarkable self-inflicted blindness, the work is too flawless to be overtly sexual. The strength and control of the pair is outstanding, the movement of their handsome limbs enough to make the most accomplished contemporary dancer envious.
