Two Worlds – A split bill featuring new works by Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Company & Yu.S.Artistry ! Two Performances ONLY !
Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Company (AMM & DCO) returns to The Performance Garage with its newest creation. Conceived and choreographed by Artistic Director Anne-Marie Mulgrew as a response to global violence and the need for healing and action in today’s world. This ongoing investigation examines contemporary issues that haunt and motivate us to face our humanity. Sections explore themes of community, compassion, resilience, understanding, joy, and hope. Built on a series of charged scenes and dances using props, text, music and projections, audiences are invited to create their own stories, share them, and discover a greater understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.
Yu.S.Artistry will present the first half of their upcoming evening-length work, “The Dream of Akinosuke” which centers around the protagonist, Akinosuke, and his journey through his dream world. Artistic director, Yuki Ishiguro’s newest piece will amalgamate a variety of Japanese fairy tales and mythology to create an exciting cast of characters that guide Akinousuke through his Odyssey. A profound homage to Japanese folklore, “The Dream of Akinosuke” is a deeply allegorical representation of the human experience and a celebration of Eastern culture. Yu.S.Artistry hopes audiences will be transported through their own fantastical journey while watching this piece, resulting in an expanded worldview.
