Choreographer and Zaccho Artist in Residence, Hope Mohr premieres a powerful new work of dance theater, Horizon Stanzas, inspired by Alice Notley’s feminist epic poem, The Descent of Alette. The cast is a dream team of three amazing dancer collaborators: Belinda He, Suztte Sagisi, and Tegan Schwab-Alavi. Lighting design by Del Medoff. Masks by Ella Noe.

Notley’s poem follows the protagonist’s journey through a dreamlike underworld to kill “the tyrant.” The dance isn’t a verbatim staging, but rather inspired by Notley’s haunting imagery and intentions, specifically the poem’s re-imagining of inherited forms.

Horizon Stanzas, premieres at the Joe Goode Annex in San Francisco April 27-30.

Shows are Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 PM. (No Friday show).
