Modern dance choreographer Hans van Manen infuses his pieces with a politics of sexual difference. The two pieces on this video, Concertante and Black Cake, are both illuminating physical explorations of gender conventions and male-female relationships. Filmed at Munich's Prinzeregententheater, Concertante has male and female dancers posturing as upper-class ballroom goers, while Black Cake cultivates a tenser, more aggressive confrontation between the sexes.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.78Audio: Stereo - English
