Guggenheim dance artist Maureen Fleming combines surreal movement poetry and mesmerizing visuals inspired by the paintings of American artist Georgia O’Keeffe in a sensual journey crystallizing mystical femininity across generations.
Moving beyond beauty to provide an ultimately redemptive response to suffering, the capacity for endurance and healing, for self-creation and self-destruction, The Alchemist’s Veil is a glorious assertion of femininity. Featuring brilliant lighting and geometric moving sculptures by Christopher Odo and a sound design by Brett Jarvis with hypnotic live piano by Bruce Brubaker and violinist Tim Fain on film performing music by Brian Eno and Philip Glass.
