Inspired by Christopher Dewdney’s award-winning book Acquainted with the Night, contemporary dancer and choreographer Shannon Litzenberger leads her multi-disciplinary creative team and ensemble of performers through her interpretation of this poetic odyssey of the nocturnal world from 6pm to 6am.
World After Dark explores our relationship with the physical and metaphorical night. From the three stages of nightfall to the science of the cosmos; from the birth of nightlife to the empire of dreams; from the biology of nocturnal creatures to the mythology of the night sky, Dewdney’s compelling poetic reveries and scientific explanations about the mysteries of the night are brought to life in this immersive and evocative mix of dance, theatre, and poetry.
World After Dark premiered at Harbourfront Centre Theatre, Toronto 2019 to rave reviews.
Movement Workshops – November 25 & 26
