UNDERLAND x Alice (with Media Design by Scott Andrew)
MARCH 21–22
TICKETS | $20–$30

This March, see the premiere of UNDERLAND x Alice, choreographer Kontara Morphis's theatrical dance journey down the rabbit hole. Set in the 1920s Greenwood District, this stunning production invites audiences to join Alice Freeman on a journey to Underland. Along the way, Alice - and viewers - will realize that only some people are who they seem to be.

Presented @ Red Eye NY

Jesse Factor presents The MetaMarthasis, featuring excerpts from Jesse’s evening-length dance performance The Marthaodyssey and some new surprises. The work features Jesse as Martha Graham, “the high priestess of modern dance,” reinterpreting her dance canon to the sonic landscapes of Madonna, “the queen of pop.” The work fuses the stark minimalism of high modern dance with sleek, pop-infused spectacle. Part lip-sync séance, part pop-, part modernist archive – completely fabulous. Featuring Media Design by Scott Andrew.

“Agonizingly sublime, boldly original” – Jane Vranish, Dance Currents

“A delectable spectacle that merges Graham’s rigor, pop’s ecstasy, and drag’s defiance.” – Elise Ryan, Petrichor Pittsburgh
