Raise the Hammer

Storm and Silence plays at the Citadel Theatre in Hamilton from July 17th-27th.

Two work evening of dance, movement, theatre and potent imagery.

I:SOLO (10 min): Utilizing contemporary movements and dance I:Solo explores our insatiable need for expression within the confines of our humanity.

STORM and SILENCE (40 min): A mosaic of spoken word, live music, movement and contemporary dance. The work is inspired by the life of Lorelei, a professional dancer living in Germany during WWII and the GDR era. Forced to abandon her profession, Lorelei escapes into the Elbe River and enters a mythological world of loss and death that invites spectators to consider that we have no better task than to take pleasure in our lives and pursue our passions.

Storm and Silence invites its audiences to question definitions of power, control, longing, pleasure, freedom and escape. How do we find pleasure? Who are our oppressors? Where do we escape? At what cost? ? Choreography by Lisa Emmons and Mateo Galindo Torres
