a plump single-color bulb, or a dance marks Wally Cardona’s choreographic return to a stage after several years of making work off-road.

While being shut down at home a few years ago (literally and figuratively), a man received an unexpected present from a former collaborator living in London. A small red ball. It seemed lonely on its own, so he picked up one of several small wooden mallets he owns from his time in Myanmar. And the three of them—ball, man, mallet—headed into the studio. He was curious about them and it felt like they had their own curiosity about him so they continued to work together. It’s evolved into a rather refined relationship. They organize, get lost in and re-find themselves. They find relevance moment to moment and have no need for a singular resolution.

This choreography for three features an original musical score performed live by Jonathan Bepler and lighting design by Thomas Dunn.
