Description
Hedwig Dances launches its 24th Season with the premiere of Earthly Tongues, a new work by Artistic Director Jan Bartoszek.

Earthly Tongues mines the rich terrain of ancestry and memory.  With hearty doses of humor and pungency, the dance examines what we know, what we do not know and what we fantasize about our collective and individual origins. 

Collaborating on the work are Stone (original music score); Petra Poul Bachmaier of Luftwerk Video (video) Margaret Nelson (lighting); and, Tatjana Radisic (costumes). 

The evening also includes Bartoszek's 2002 work, Ache of the Arc, performed on a set of ladders and walls.  Ache of the Arc contrasts the human capacity for extraordinary kindness and profound cruelty and probes the disorientation, panic and apprehension sown by fear.  The dance includes sound design and music by Chris Johnson, set by Bernard Chin, costumes by Alison Heryer, and lighting by Margaret Nelson.
