“With innovative flair and theatricality,” New Zealand’s Black Grace returns to our stage for the first time in 12 years, after wowing audiences worldwide with “a carefully constructed form of rigor and sophistication” (The Boston Globe). Masterfully blending contemporary and Samoan dance, the company embodies “incredible speed and stamina, and exhilarating, seemingly inexhaustible energy” (The New York Times). The program features two Philadelphia premieres—abridged versions of If Ever There Was A Time and Paradise Rumour—highly physical works rooted in the rich storytelling traditions of the South Pacific and performed with raw finesse, beauty and power.
