Dalí is an evening-length dance work inspired by the life and art of Salvador Dalí. Dancers explore surrealism through movement and bring visually stimulating worlds of depth to life on stage. This is truly a beautifully curated evening of music, dance, art, and performance!
Dalí promises to be an evening of inspiration, surrealism, and stunning visuals. The performance spans two acts with a 15-minute intermission between acts. Immerse yourself in a dreamlike world exploring themes of isolation, grief, loss, companionship, fear, intimacy, and even the bizarre.
