Bringing together eight companies and choreographers whose work spans generations, aesthetics, and cultural lineages, the program examines how dance has long served as both witness and catalyst, from anti-fascist statements of the 1930s to contemporary explorations of migration, war, race, and national identity. Each evening concludes with a post-performance conversation with the choreographers, inviting audiences to engage more deeply with the artistic and political questions raised onstage.
