"It would be very weird if you weren't allowed to laugh at a performance"

A shy, unassuming man, who transforms on stage into a brilliant clown and artist at the same time. You can't get more typically British than choreographer and dancer Jonathan Burrows. He has achieved cult status in the dance world, and it is actually strange that his performances do not reach a wider audience. Although he himself says he has no shortage of audience members: everywhere he goes in the world, the halls are full.

At Springdance 2011, Burrows performed the show Cheap Lecture / Cow Piece, in which he joins forces with composer Matteo Fargion to go down the hall with all the connotations of good art, creating a new work of art.
