Program: Beacons

Running time: 65 minutes, no intermission

We are beacons. Our dance is tenderness. It is the joy and complications of youth and aging. It is holding on. It is tethering. Traversing patterns that unfold over time, reaching exhaustion, and then resisting that limit. How do we simultaneously experience change and stay continuously present? Beacons, choreographed by Anna Sperber, is described by The New York Times as “immediately compelling” and “wonderfully strange,” exploring themes of movement, connection, and endurance through both youth and aging. Performed by Tim Bendernagel, Owen Prum, Zo Williams, and Sperber, with music by Lea Bertucci and lighting by Madeline Best, it delves into change, support, and the complexities of being present.
