TuTuMucky, Scottish Dance Theatre (2017)
Torben worked alongside Botis Seva to produce the score for TutuMucky, a work that interrogates the rigid structures our society imposes, especially in the dance world. TutuMucky has been performed all over the UK and internationally.
“a score that powers through your veins” – The List
“Bodies move robotically, or stretch to reveal muscle tone, an industrial soundtrack blends with spoken fragments from ballet class, and the whole thing has a strange, desolate beauty all of its own.” – The Scotsman
“...the electro, glitch noise soundtrack by Torben Sylvest swirls the energy around the dancers and the audience; we begin to be pulled towards the rhythms, potency and urgency of the movement…” – Writing about dance
