Inspired by Zora Neale Hurston's book Moses, Man of the Mountain and cultural explorations in Israel, Egypt and Turkey, choreographer Reggie Wilson's Moses(es) takes us on a captivating journey. Wilson's precise, energetic fusion of modern and African dance is remarkable and perfectly married to an intoxicating score which includes music by Louis Armstrong, The Klezmatics, Ngqoko Women's Ensemble, MaZarhar, Tiger, Bi Kidude, Southern Sons, The Blind Boys of Alabama, and traditional African-American spirituals "Wade In the Water" and "Eli, Eli (Somebody Call Eli)" sung live by the performers of Fist & Heel Performance Group.
