RUBBERBAND’s new creation, Reckless Underdog, goes beyond anything the company has done in the last 20 years.

Babs Asper Theatre,1 Elgin Street,Ottawa,CanadaRUBBERBAND’s new creation, Reckless Underdog, goes beyond anything the company has done in the last 20 years. In this extraordinary work, 12 dancers coexist in a three-act choreography, each part a work in itself.
The first, inspired by classical ballet, redefines the rules of the pas de deux in a bright, mechanical environment. The second deconstructs the break cypher in a sombre, oppressive atmosphere. The third, boldly experimental, distorts theatrical codes, confronting them head-on in an approach that is abstract, minimal, and colourful.
Reckless Underdog’s set design, musicality and movement aesthetic transport the audience to a unique and complex world.
With the help of such avant-garde musical collaborators as Chilly Gonzales, Kid Koala, and Vlooper from Alaclair Ensemble, daring and visionary artistic director and choreographer Victor Quijada introduces us to a new chapter in the company’s history, which he calls: The culmination of the RUBBERBAND method, or the transformation of traditional conventions through the fusion of different dance styles.
