In her newest international work, choreographer Colleen Thomas delves into the embodied experience of self, perception and connection in a climate of heightened political and social unrest. With its international cast – including dancers from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and the U.S. – “but the sun came up and we were here” asks if the expression of our individual essence, intuition and power can be the antidote to division in a fractured world.
In this new, full evening-length work, the performers’ individual architecture and history collide with Thomas’ questions about the perception of self and human connection. What are the limits –or possibilities—of a sense of belonging amid rising fear and tension in an unsteady world?
