The sun will probably rise, but there is a chance that it won’t. How do you plan for chance ? How often can you perform an experiment, and does the chance of success increase? In Probabilities of Independent Events, Grace Ellen Barkey asks absurd and quirky but vital questions on the probability (or improbability) of things. She seeks out the human significance behind the mathematical notion that independent events are not influenced by previous occurrences.
Where visual art, dance and performance meet, that’s where you will find Grace Ellen Barkey’s productions. The musical dramaturgy always plays a pivotal part. In Probabilities of Independent Events, her choreography starts out from pop and folk songs by Zappa, Queen and other musical icons. The arrangements are by the composer Rombout Willems, who also is the musical director. Together with the Needcompany orchestra and 14 dancers from Antwerp’s Royal Conservatoire, they will make a party out of merry pointlessness, packed with humour and all that’s radical. A dazzling encounter between three generations and fourteen nationalities!
In Probabilities of Independent Events, Barkey returns to absurdity. Anything is possible. It can’t fail.
