A house plant, a rug, a light. A sofa, initially covered in protective plastic. A group of friends whose greetings are warm and graceful and whose gossip covers people at church, what to wear on a night out, and whether it’s worth risking a relationship with a man without a house whose Cadillac is in the repair shop.
These are the domestic ingredients from which American choreographer Kyle Abraham weaves the magical fabric of An Untitled Love, a tribute to the bonds of affection and caring in Black culture. Danced to the soul music of D’Angelo and set by Dan Scully within a frame of changing neon light and rich, saturated colour, it is funny, beautiful and subtly thought-provoking.
