Mysterious and sensual, Christopher Hampson's
Saltarello reveals a sharp, 21st century originality in
classical technique. Hampson's choreography underscores an almost
tribal structure and arrangement. Dressed in slinky silver and
black, the dancers shift mood and pace, from courtly elegance to
explosive energy in a heartbeat.
