The Surge: An ode to award winning Sinead O’Connor.
This brand new dance work is set to the music of Sinéad O'Connor and is a mediation on voice, protest and the courage to live a life that defies the norm performed by a company of 10 women. Presented in partnership with The Joyce Theater and Factory International, O’Connor’s voice guides us through the work, via her iconic music and narration from her memoir Remembering’s with Tayeh’s powerfully choreography performed by 10 women - 10 dance artists cutting through the notion of age as something to fear. These women total more than five hundred years of collective wisdom – affirming the passing of time as a privilege that carries beauty and experience with it. The Surge is conceived, choreographed and directed by Sonya Tayeh – a creative visionary whose work relating to the body in motion explores many different worlds. An internationally celebrated artist, she is the dance backbone behind numerous stage and screen projects, most notably Moulin Rouge: The Musical!, for which she won the Tony Award for outstanding choreography.
