Rooms
Company:
Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble
On March 1st, Anna Sokolow's masterpiece, Rooms, returns to the stage. This controversial work toes the line between theater and dance, pulsing with loneliness, fantasy, and the fear of alienation to a driving jazz score by Kenyon Hopkins. First choreographed in 1955 during the breakdown of wartime solidarity, when the threat of atomic annihilation, the 1952 polio epidemic, and the Red Scare hung like invisible contagions, Rooms examines the psychic isolation and unfulfilled desires of characters isolated in their small, city apartments. An enduring masterpiece, Rooms reveals the deepest aspects of our human condition.
This event forms part of Carnegie Hall’s United in Sound: America at 250 festival.
