SHADOW CITIES | WORLD PREMIERE

EPHRAT ASHERIE DANCE with ARTURO O’FARRILL

Reflect on the beauty, vastness and joy of the in-between in the world premiere of Shadow Cities, featuring the street and club dance choreography of Ephrat Asherie and original music composed and performed by Grammy® Award-winning jazz pianist Arturo O’Farrill. This Penn Live Arts co-commission explores how we are all an amalgam of cultures, identities and generations, fixed and infinitely fluid, fully embodied and fragmented all at once. With Asherie’s exhilarating remix of dance styles and O’Farrill’s signature Latin jazz grooves, Shadow Cities explores what it means to be in-between and how this vivid place is where we often feel most alive.
