View all →About This Event
Dance Base Festival presents *Il canto dell’assiolo* on Tuesday 18 August 2026, a duet from Compagnia Bellanda inspired by the nocturnal call of the scops owl. The performance delves into the fragile boundary between desire and control, tenderness and aggression, through intimate partnering that repeatedly breaks and reforms. Taking place at Dance Base in Edinburgh, the piece begins at 8.30pm as part of the wider festival programme. Ticket prices are available on the website.
The performance is a visceral duet that explores the threshold of love, focusing on the tension between desire and control, tenderness and aggression, and guidance and surrender. The choreography uses intimate partnering, breath, and stripped language, accompanied by amplified and fractured sound.
