Summary
Additional notes from the Walker Art Center webpage: In the hands of choreographer Bill T. Jones, dance becomes an extraordinary tool for probing life's big questions and journeying toward understanding. In this new evening-length work, he explores patriotism, honor, sacrifice, and service to a cause larger than oneself--values all but lost in our modern world. Jones' technically stunning 10-member company performs in a landscape of primary colors with live musical accompaniment by Daniel Bernard Roumain. As if on a "blind date," wisdom and eloquence meet dumbed-down fundamentalism in this explosive meditation on opposing forces and contrasting beliefs. Co-presented with Northrop Dance Season.
