Other Myths / Jonah Bokaer / Lightbox

Other Myths / Jonah Bokaer / Lightbox

Other Myths by choreographer Jonah Bokaer offers intercultural myths and histories which expand our understanding of dance.
Bokaer turned to mythology from other cultures, partly because abstract dance in the United States and Western Europe has resisted the use of mythology in recent decades – often effacing cultures whose story-telling remains marginal, or under-represented. The five dancers have intermittently worked with Bokaer for two years, to cultivate the stories from their regions, into one unified work. The music is by Soundwalk Collective. Sounds from the Black Sea were recorded by Soundwalk’s members, and used to design an atmospheric portrait of Southeastern Europe – including radio frequencies in many languages. Dancers will include Evin HadA?ialjeviA?, Katharina Illnar, Dávid Mikó, Szabi Pataki, Karolina Šuša, all making their United States debut.
