DANSE LUMIERE presents THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE (San Francisco performances)
Dance Mission Theater
San Francisco, CA
Why war? Why not peace? The Bay Area's ground-breaking Danse Lumiere presents THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE, an innovative dance theater program inspired by award-winning California author and activist Maxine Hong Kingston's extraordinary book of the same name.
Conceived and choreographed by Danse Lumiere Artistic Director Kathryn Roszak, this deeply moving piece features the acclaimed dancers of the LINES Ballet/Dominican University BFA Program, actor Steve Ortiz, martial artists Ryan Au and Ben Tang with music by Ron van Leeuwaarde, costumes by Cassandra Carpenter with textiles by Kaibrina Sky Buck, all interpreting the testimonies of war veterans in a stunning new stage adaptation. The Iraq war echoes the Vietnam conflict in this poignant exploration of war and peace.
We are thrilled that Maxine Hong Kingston will join us for a post-performance talk and Q&A at the October 25 performance only.
Danse Lumiere (formerly Anima Mundi) creates dance theater linking the arts, the environment, and humanity. Founded by Bay Area choreographer Kathryn Roszak in 1995, the company specializes in adapting works of literature for the stage, giving them new life through the fusion of dance, theater, and music, while focusing on some of the most pressing social issues of our time.
