Visual art, electro-pop, and contemporary dance intersect in an illuminating new work directed by award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor, artist Olafur Eliasson, and producer/composer Jamie xx.

Performed by fifteen soloists and dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet and Company Wayne McGregor
, this new type of modern dance layers classical and contemporary styles with visual wizardry and sonic imagination in this highly-anticipated U.S. premiere.

This new evening-length work takes as its starting point Jonathan Safran Foer’s enigmatic publication, at once a novel and a piece of art created by making incisions into the pages of The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz. Utilizing Foer’s merging of genres and sculptural techniques, the piece features a site-specific environment that reinvents the performance space with a shape-shifting kaleidoscope of light, color, and reflective mirrors that challenges preconceived notions of the role of the viewer from the moment they enter the drill hall.
