Toronto Dance Theatre presents: Pteros Tactics February 16, 2010

Toronto Dance Theatre is proud to present the World Premiere of Pteros Tactics. A major new work by Christopher House.

Running Tuesday, February 16 through Saturday, February 20, 2010 at Harbourfront Centre''s Fleck Dance Theatre.

Pteros Tactics examines "the instant of desire" as described by Anne Carson in her essay Eros the Bittersweet.

Inspired by and created in collaboration with TDT''s ten extraordinary dancers (Alana Elmer, Syreeta Hector, David Houle, Yuichiro Inoue, Pulga Muchochoma, Kaitlin Standeven, Brodie Stevenson, Nai Shi Wang, Sarah Wasik and Linnea Wong), Pteros Tactics promises to be a vibrant and playful work that examines the space of desire between the lover and beloved.

Artistic Director of Toronto Dance Theatre since 1994, Christopher House is one of Canada''s most enduringly inventive choreographers, an artist with a voracious appetite for new ideas and in the full maturity of his powers. His playful, intelligent productions speak directly to the audience about the big questions of our lives.
