Details
MacArthur “Genius” Award winning choreographer creates dance works using highly physical dance styles that reflect the youthful energy of hip-hop and speak to a new generation of dancers and audiences.
When the Wolves Came In is a suite of new, original, dance works for ensemble that explores the historical legacy of two totemic triumphs in the international history of Civil Rights: the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 20th anniversary of the abolishment of apartheid in South Africa.
This program draws inspiration from jazz legend ’s iconic protest album We Insist: Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite, released in 1960 in response to the urgency of the growing civil rights movement in the US and South Africa. The potent themes inherent in these historical milestones are evident in Abraham’s choreography, evocative scenery by visual artist , the visceral power of Roach’s masterwork and original compositions by GRAMMY-award winning jazz innovator Robert Glasper.
