Following the success of her ballet about homelessness, From Shadows (ODC Theater, October 2017), Choreographer Marika Brussel announces the world premiere of her new work, House of Names: an evening-length contemporary ballet about issues of social justice including immigration, women in the #metoo era, and poverty.
House of Names will consist of four original pieces, all focusing on women in biblical and mythological stories: Lot's Wife, Cassandra, La Llorona and, potentially, Lilith. Brussel will be exploring these stories with a contemporary eye: Lot's Wife as a modern immigration story Cassandra in the #metoo era, La Llorona as a woman living in poverty, facing terrible choices. Collaborating with composer Carla Lucero, Marika Brussel will delve deeply into these stories, making them new and relevant. A string trio will perform Lucero's compositions during the shows. In addition, one of the four pieces will be choreographed by guest artist Amy Foley (Artistic Director of Bellwether Dance Project & former dancer with Robert Moses' KIN).
