White title_ What Songs May Do.png

What songs may do… is the first full-evening production by award-winning choreographer Mathieu Geffré as the artistic director of Rendez-Vous dance.

​

Revealed by Nina Simone’s songs, this duet exposes the fractured relationship of a once romantic couple as they delve into their past in an attempt to rebuild their future together. Through Simone’s music, this dance piece shines a light on our deep rooted connection to memories through music and proposes the power of what songs may do. Poetic, passionate, physical and emotional, What songs may do… is an inclusive dance piece that celebrates love in all its diversity. 

"GEFFRÉ CLEARLY KNOW WHAT SONGS CAN DO."
