“Love. Poison” centers in solo works with strong dancing elements, with main focus on French works and pieces with strong connection to 20th century ballets. The chosen works not only showcase pianistic poetry and virtuosity, but reinforce also elements of meditation, melodrama and a central message of love, life and death.
