In Duplication, Mădălina Dan demystifies clichés, conventions, and rules taught in choreography school, with humor excellent adjusted to each situation separately. Four little animals take dance-learning mechanisms and compulsory routines to task, rebelling – with irony – against rhetorical ready-mades in dance.
Mădălina Dan transforms the pedagogic tradition into a source of inspiration that helps her distance herself, through deconstruction, from its discourse, and also helps her laugh cynically – for a good reason.
