ONE NIGHT ONLY | Sunday, March 7 at 3 PM
Hedwig Dances, a Chicago-based contemporary dance theater ensemble, known for its theatricality and originality, premieres Ana Beatriz Perez' HOME, a dance that responds to recent transformative world events and probes the human experience.
HOME: A PLACE WITHIN uses the house as a metaphor and reflects on the refuge, intimacy, and comfort it provides. In an alienating, changing and unpredictable world, four people with different lives spend their daily lives waiting. While everything changes outside, something begins to change within them. Like our experience of home which accompanies us from birth, we imbue it with meaning and it, in turn, provides us with meaning. The home is us.
Spain-based choreographer Ana Beatriz Perez, working with Hedwig’s Chicago based dancers, builds on Hedwig’s multi-platformed choreographic practices. Spanish composer Maria Move and Raúl Grillo, Master Sound Producer, enhance the dance with their original musical score.
Immediately following HOME's premiere, join us in a live question and answer session with Hedwig's dancers, choreographer, and composer, moderated by Artistic Associate Maray Gutierrez that explores their work in HOME.
