Summary
Bittersweet is the first work for the camera directed by award-winning choreographer David Roussève. It explores the relationships of three women of color to their husbands, lovers, and to one another in an alternately lyrical and violent look at race and gender politics. Bittersweet is a bold fusion of narrative text, abstract movement, and visual imagery that probes the meaning of the word bittersweet as a moment when the greatest of both joy and agony are experienced together. The 15 minute work juxtaposes the haunting voice of Nina Simone, a searing narrative, and a thrilling movement vocabulary to create a potent cauldron of emotion.
