BRANDENBURGS | RUNES | PROMETHEAN FIRE
Continuing the legacy of the inimitable modern dance choreographer, the Paul Taylor Dance Company returns to PS21 on August 2 and 3 with three of his signature works. Brandenburgs (1988) and Promethean Fire (2002), set to the music of J. S. Bach, and Runes (1975), with music by Gerald Busby, offer a rare opportunity to witness “America’s most magnificent dancing machine performing America’s most deeply communicative and wildly theatrical modern dance.” — San Francisco Examiner
COMING SOON
LE SACRE DE LILA
Ismaël Mouaraki
Destins Croisés (Québec)
August 24 & 25, 8 pm, PS21 Pavilion Theater
Le sacre de Lila, French-Canadian choreographer Ismaël Mouaraki’s distillation of Lila, a nocturnal mystical ritual of the Moroccan Maghreb expressed through music and dance. Created for his Montreal-based company Destins Croisés, the work fuses the trance and spiritual traditions of Lila (“night,” in Arabic) with Mouaraki’s signature urban dance style and the mesmerizing electronic soundscape composed by Antoine Berthiaume. In collaboration with l’association Salamate Gnawa Montréal.
Le sacre de Lila was awarded the 2023 Prix de la meilleure oeuvre choréographique from the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec.
On August 3, join us for our pre-performance PS21 Supper Club, created by Hillsdale chef Leah Guadagnoli, on the PS21 terrace, a beautiful three-course vegetarian feast with wine and produce straight from her garden. All tickets include priority seating to the performance!
