WORLD PREMIERE! Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company’s ANALOGY/AMBROS: THE EMIGRANT
In the final piece of Jones’ Analogy trilogy, Jones strives to suggest how a traumatic experience can go underground in the psyche of an individual and direct consciously and unconsciously the course of that individual’s life. A captivating narrative following the life of valet and manservant, Ambros Adelwarth, as he travels the world and original music and a soundscape that combines songs from both world wars, the 50’s and 60’s classic pop music and the club music from the 80’s and 90’s.

DIAVOLO’s FLUID INFINITIES and TRAJECTOIRE
Visceral and awe-inspiring, DIAVOLO uses dance to explore the relationship between the human body and its architectural environment, revealing how we are affected emotionally, physically and socially by the spaces we inhabit. Each work is inspired by massive architectural structures and activated by stylistically-varied and intensely-physical choreography.
