François Chaignaud & Cecilia Bengolea

Over two weekends from May 12–14 and May 19–21, François Chaignaud and Cecilia Bengolea’s program at Dia:Beacon traces the trajectory of the artists’ twelve-year creative partnership. Each performance includes three consecutive episodes, transitioning through the layered references that inform their collaborative work—from the musical structures of polyphonic singing, through the transcendent dance of Sylphides (2009), to the recent ensemble work Dub Love (2014).
