Ephrat Asherie Dance (EAD) collaborates with GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill on its newest creation, Shadow Cities, a contemplative and multi-faceted performance that incorporates house music, club culture, and club dance forms in a reflection on the beauty, vastness, and joy of the in-between. With a cast of seven dancers and four musicians, the performers explore the myriad ways they feel split between cities, memories, and generations, encountering their most enlivened selves in unexpected moments. EAD, rooted in a multitude of Afro-diasporic vernacular dances, explores the expansive narrative qualities of breaking, hip hop, house, and waacking to tell stories and find new modes of expression. Featuring live music by Arturo O’Farrill and friends, Shadow Cities is a conversation between O’Farrill’s vast compositional voice and EAD’s dynamic, rigorous, and idiosyncratic choreography.
