Double Murder (Clowns/The Fix)
Hofesh Shechter Company
October 27–29
In a macabre comedy of murder and desire, Clowns unleashes a whirlwind of choreographed anarchy, testing how far we are willing to go in the name of entertainment.
As an antidote to the murderous, poisonous energy of Clowns, Shechter’s new creation, The Fix, brings tender, fragile energy to the stage.

Kaeja d’Dance

Compagnie Virginie Brunelle

Springing from an extraordinary union between classical music, performed live by the Molinari Quartet, and contemporary dance, Les corps avalés is a moving human odyssey that reveals Virginie Brunelle’s sensitive intelligence and great musicality in all its luminous power.
Homelands
Kaha:wi Dance Theatre

The vision of Homelands is to uphold power, sacred existence and continuance of feminine creative force. It places importance on reconnecting to ancestral lands, condoling with earth and rekindling the inner and community fires.
The Sacrifice
Dada Masilo

The vocabularies of unfamiliar dance forms are fused with contemporary dance and classical ballet.
