Elisa Monte Dance at the Flea Theater

The world premiere of “Emerged Nation” Elisa Monte Dance

Elisa Monte Dance (EMD), a renowned modern dance company founded by former Martha Graham principal Elisa Monte and currently helmed by Artistic Director Tiffany Rea-Fisher, moves its 39th anniversary season with a return to The Flea Theater for its second engagement of 2019.

For the company’s November 21-24, 2019 season, Rea-Fisher will present the world premiere of “Emerged Nation,” an evening-length work comprised of three movements that each possess a unique message and emotional arc examining a nation in transformation. Inspired by the shifts in America’s civil and social mores, the work delves into the complex emotional landscape created by immigration, cultural acclimation and diversity.
