Beneath the shimmer of a disco ball, lucky contestants dance like they have the world on a string. The year is 1976, an irresistible bassline drives and the martinis never run dry. What could go wrong?
While the contestants nearly lose their minds with the pleasure of being selected, The Host has reconfigured the game. Ripped headfirst from their shrimp cocktail, gameplay unfolds at breakneck speed. Cement punctures the dancehall, the party grinds to a halt and an inky night belches to the surface.
Bridging dance and theater, this new work by experimental choreographers Lisa Fagan and Lena Engelstein features Marianne Rendón, sound by Tei Blow, costumes by Normandy Sherwood, lighting by Masha Tsimring and set by Jian Jung.
