Choreography by Laura Arrington

This original ensemble-based piece weaves evocative a capella harmonies and visceral movement into a multidisciplinary retelling of an ancient Estonian tale. Lona endures her cruel stepmother until she unexpectedly discovers a new friend in the mysterious, forbidden Tontlawald the ghost forest. Associate Artistic Director Paige Rogers was inspired by the work of Poland's famed Teatr ZAR to create a performance in which the body and song tell Lona's story. Rogers has teamed up with co-director Annie Paladino, choreographer Laura Arrington and Cutting Ball's resident playwright Eugenie Chan to create a world premiere performance that stretches our definitions of theater, dance, and choral music.
