Dream’d in a Dream

Click here to buy ticketsIn 2012, Seán Curran Company traveled to Central Asia as cultural ambassadors of the U.S. State Department. The visit proved momentous when the dancers encountered the traditional mountain music of Bishkek, described by Curran as “beautifully strange and unfamiliar,” a sound rarely heard in the West. Thus began the synergistic collision of two authentic forms—American modern dance and centuries-old Kyrgyz music. Ustatshakirt Plus Ensemble, led by artistic director Nurlanbek Nishanov, join the company in Curran’s new evening-length work, inspired by Walt Whitman’s “I Dream’d in a Dream,” which describes a peaceful, loving city of friends.

Program: Dream’d in a Dream, set to music by Ustatshakirt Plus Ensemble performed live, choreography by Seán Curran.
