Paul Taylor Dance Company is “one of the most exciting, innovative, and delightful dance companies in the entire world.” (The New York Times) This audience-favorite returns with Speaking in Tongues, a dramatic work which had its world premiere on our stage in 1988. Set against a melodic yet haunting score, the piece examines the undercurrent of fanaticism and hypocrisy in religion. A stark contrast, the program will also feature the definitive Taylor work Esplanade, “a classic of American dance” (The New Yorker) that is at once playful, somber and romantic. Set to Bach, this masterwork celebrates its 50th anniversary with “stunning athleticism and irrepressible lyricism.” (CBS News)
