Ephrat Asherie Dance with Arturo O'Farrill

Shadow Cities
Wed Dec 3 - Sun Dec 7

Tickets go on sale to the public Thursday, June 19 at noon ET.

Ephrat Asherie Dance (EAD) collaborates with Grammy award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill on its newest creation, Shadow Cities, a contemplative and mutli-faceted reflection on the beauty, vastness and joy of the in-between. With a cast of six dancers and four musicians, the performers explore the myriad ways they feel split between cities, memories, and generations, encountering their most enlivened selves in unexpected moments. EAD explores the expansive narrative qualities of a multitude of Afro-diasporic vernacular forms including breaking, hip hop, house, and waacking to tell stories and find new modes of expression. Featuring live music by Arturo O'Farrill and friends, Shadow Cities is a conversation between O'Farrill's vast compositional voice and EAD's dynamic, rigorous and idiosyncratic choreography.
