Dance Performance | Reimagining the "Five Friends": Dance, Art, and Queer Histories
Experience the U.S. premiere of a new performance by acclaimed dancer-choreographer Trajal Harrell. The work explores the intertwined lives of postwar modernists Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Robert Rauschenberg, constructing movement and time as a sculptural medium. Harrell's piece examines artistic collaboration, queer identity, and the cross-pollination of dance, music, and visual art.
