Lullaby in Surrealism (5 minute glimpse)

LULLABY IN SURREALISM investigates our sleeping lives, harnessing the
imagery of dreams and realizing those disparate, mystical, often alarming worlds onstage.
Dancers' arms get caught in sharp gesture while tethered to breezy locomotions in the legs
and feet. There are small, constant jumps and suspensions that invade sky and floor. At
times, the dance seeps into an earnest quietude with slow violent exchanges. At other
times, trancelike logic emerges that lulls the audience into a ritualized disorientation. The
dancers spend time revealing and covering themselves, exposing delicate birdcages of
the chest and heart. Glimpses of familiarity can be spotted through the folds of evaporating
action.
