Mark Morris Dance Group and Music Ensemble at BAM
Company:
BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music)
Returning to BAM as a part of its 45th-anniversary season, the Mark Morris Dance Group presents two programs featuring the New York premiere of two major recent dances. The first program is devoted to MOON, Morris’s latest work, celebrating our enduring fascination with our celestial neighbor. With costumes by Isaac Mizrahi and vivid projections by Wendall K. Harrington, this evening-length dance is set to a lunar playlist including unearthly classics by György Ligeti and Marcel Dupré, vintage pop songs, and the fabled Golden Record sent into space by NASA in 1977.
The Group’s second program includes another New York premiere, Via Dolorosa. Set to hauntingly beautiful music for solo harp by composer Nico Muhly played live by Parker Ramsay, the “serenely shattering” (San Francisco Chronicle) dance evokes the 14 Stations of the Cross and features a vibrant set design by the painter Howard Hodgkin. The program opens with V, a life-affirming Morris classic danced to Robert Schumann’s soaring Piano Quintet in E-flat.
