Burrows&Fargion
Hopes and Stupidity (A Retrospective)
Choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion have been studying the fine line between what we see and what we hear for 35 years. “Hopes and Stupidity“ is a rare retrospective of their spectacular miniatures, which turn our expectations about a dance performance upside down.
For 35 years, choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion have investigated the delicate boundary between what we see and what we hear, producing a series of spectacular miniatures that confound expectations of what a dance performance might be. They describe their work as handmade and human-scale, poised somewhere between dance, music, performance art, and comedy.
Tanzquartier Wien offers a rare opportunity to see a retrospective of their live work over three evenings, from the seminal “Both Sitting Duet” (2002), performed more than 500 times worldwide, to their most recent collaboration “The Unison Piece” (2025).
