Dance Review: Low Air Urban Dance--Home Trip ***

Lorna Irvine reviews an 'inventive' piece that 'soon loses momentum'.

A small, stifling home containing a bickering couple (Larisa Kalpokaite and Jonas Braskys) is the setting for a generation gap, where their errant adult offspring (dancers Airida Gudaite and Laurynas Zakevicius) return to hostilities, accusations and, ultimately, reconciliation. And all on Father's birthday, too.

Shades of Jan Svankmajer's inventive surrealism frame this dance piece initially, but it soon loses momentum as the storytelling progresses, and the fighting is as tedious as it is shrill and depressing.

Still, Lauryna Liepaite's set design is cute and the choreography, which fuses contemporary and street, often dazzling, particularly when Guidate and Zakevicius mirror each other and almost blur identities.

Part of this year's Dance International Glasgow festival.
