Known By Heartpas de deux


Choreography by Twyla Tharp
Music by Donald Knaack (Junk Music)
Costumes by Santo Loquasto
Lighting by Jennifer Tipton

Power-packed and aerobically demanding, this duet from Known by Heart reimagines the classical pas de deux with a fresh intensity and unexpected depth. Tharp forges a fierce, witty, and dynamic relationship between the dancers, blending technical rigor with playful interaction. The choreography pushes both performers to their physical and expressive limits, revealing a partnership that is as electrifying as it is nuanced.
