CARAVAN whose title originates from the composition by Duke Ellington, charts the arrival of the dancers in an unfamiliar, uncertain setting, where they find themselves without any point of reference. The choreography sets out to create an atmosphere and to establish relationships through the dancers and the lighting alone.
The music is a collage with two recurring elements: trumpet and keyboards. A subtle backdrop of jazz, soul and ballads such as Lester Bowie's Travelling light, Dr. John's version of Caravan, Aaron Neville's Tell it like it is and Chet Baker's My Funny Valentine, a solo performed by Cesc Gelabert.
The entire piece is a celebration of the individuality and the different personality of each dancer as they contemplate their bodies and their identity with that curious combination of perplexity, moments of certain madness, innocence and irony, which characterises the choreographies of Gelabert Azzopardi.
