Two of Quatre

Do you like to be surprised? This is one of the central questions at the core of performance, or for the people who enjoy going to shows such as “Cheap Lecture” and “The Cow Piece”. The duo of Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion, both from the UK have been creating duets since 2002. They have garnered an international reputation for mixing the formality of musical composition with a simple and open approach to performance. They are themselves at all times, very much in the space, with you, with everyone and perform with an awareness of every page they touch, each movement and look to the audience. They create an intimacy that makes you feel you are at an informal party and they are the magicians who don’t have tricks but are armed with an ability to make you feel comfortable, to think and laugh uncontrollably.
