"By now we ought to be accustomed to the surprises the wry, spry and elegant pairing of Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion keep springing on us, but somehow we're not; they've always got an extra rabbit in the hat to take us unawares.

Speaking Dance (2006) created by choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion is the first piece in their 'trilogy for two gentlemen' which includes also Both Sitting Duet (2002) and The Quiet Dance (2005) and Speaking Dance (2006): subtly witty dance performances about the movement of music and the sound of silence.
