Pablo Piantino re-stages Alejandro Cerrudo’s “Lickety Split” in Germany

School of Dance's Associate Professor Pablo Piantino re-staged Alejandro Cerrudo’s Lickety Split on the German company Gauthier Dance as part of their season in Theaterhaus Stuttgart. 

"Lickety-Split" appeared in the Gauthier Dance JUNIORS' second programme, "DREAM TEAM." The performance consisted of two world premieres, two tried-and-tested classics of contemporary dance, and a brand-new podcast format hosted by Eric Gauthier:

Despite its title, "Lickety-Split" comes across as a rather relaxed and, above all, very human, humorous piece. Set to the hypnotic music of Californian indie songwriter Devendra Banhart, Alejandro Cerrudo, then the resident choreographer of Hubbard Street Dance Company Chicago, acts out the encounter of three couples – very sensual, very sophisticated and with a slightly eccentric touch. In one of its first seasons, Gauthier Dance included the piece in its programme as part of the bill Lucky Seven from 2011.
