The season is named for Pelton’s newest work,
inspired by the poetry of Anglo-Irish writer Louis
MacNeice. Set to a score by Gavin Bryars, this dark
and meditative work will be performed twice each
evening—as a solo and again as a group piece.
These two different versions of a single meditation
quietly ask how one might reconcile the tyranny of
humanity with the progress of time and the body.
The season also includes revivals of Not Here,
choreographed to Radiohead for Nol Simonse in
2003, and one of Christy Funsch's own dances,
Solo for Somebody. For Tuesday, created in 2006
in collaboration with playwright-in-residence Brian
Thorstenson, the company will be joined by guest
dancers Erin Mei-Ling Stuart and Private Freeman.
The evening concludes with an excerpt from next
season's Citizen Hill, performed to live string
music by Ravel
