SOULSKIN Dance & MAFFEI Dance Company Presents "FRACTURED"
Company:
SOULSKIN Dance & MAFFEI Dance Company
An evening of stories in motion, exploring personal realities and divergent perceptions at a time when distortion is at odds with truth.
With FRACTURED, choreographers Adrianna Thompson and JoLea Maffei create a world of transmutation — where movement reveals inner landscapes and alternative interpretations. Witness a mélange of energies merging into one night of visceral expression, where audiences decide what is truth versus distortion.
SOULSKIN Dance will be performing two world premieres. Blinded transforms the stage into a mirror of political unrest exposing the disillusionment of democracy. Unpredictable Encounters balances intimacy with unpredictability, capturing how we move in a fractured world. The work is set to a newly commissioned score that fuses lyrical echoes with electronic undertones, guiding audiences through the fragile yet transformative nature of human connection.
MAFFEI DANCE Company is performing two world premieres. Through Time and Again explores the conversation between Baroque structure and contemporary spontaneity, through the Gamba music of composer Carl Friedrich Abel recorded by modern day gamba maestro Paolo Pandolfo. In counterpoint, composer Eran Fink responds to the gamba’s ancient voice through shifting rhythms and harmonic play with a driving contemporary electronic groove. A reflection on sound across time: the old and the new intertwine, challenge, and echo one another. Rainwalker, is inspired by the inner worlds of the short stories of Zeph Ellis Maffei and ponders the human tendency toward the nature of repetition — and the moments when those patterns become destructive. Through spoken text, percussion, and movement, the piece merges the literal and the abstract, the real and the fantastical.
