Nacera Belaza

Thursday, October 19 | 8:30PM

Saturday, October 21 | 8:30PM

Internationally revered for her powerfully abstract work, Nacera Belaza draws a path between shadow and light, seeking to glimpse the infinite. In L’Onde (The Wave), the French Algerian choreographer immerses herself in the spellbinding notions of Algerian ritualistic dances. With a hypnotic sound narrative and mesmerizing movement that blends tradition and modernity, the piece features four dancers who explore the body’s capacity for transformation through rigorous and elegantly minimalist choreography.

Please note: L’Onde (The Wave) contains loud sounds.

The program includes a post-performance talk on October 20 with Nacera Belaza.

"[Nacera Belaza] explores the boundaries between embodied presence and the ecstatic emptiness toward which dance, and movement, can lead us."
Marian Harss, The New Yorker
