I am very happy to invite you to my new performance in collaboration with the moon and the sun: Day For Night: Ring of Fire.
For the 21st of June 2020, I have prepared a special summer solstice spectacle: for this dance, the moon passes between the sun and the earth creating a ring of fire. A moment of darkness on the longest day of the year.
The seats for the performance are only available for a select audience in Africa and Asia. We have arranged a live stream here
It’s a special version of the Day for Night series, the fourth performance in the series of my collaborations with the night sky titled: Night Sky: Further Investigations Into Choreography, part of the larger cycle of collaborations with the weather titled Telling Future.
Performance time:
21 June 2020
Beginning: 3:45

Day for Night is an immersive dramatic spectacle for three celestial bodies and an observer.
From the press:
‘When the lights, the Sun and the Moon are ‘eclipsed’, we are in the dark and events are hidden and shadowy. Secrets emerge and what’s unknown comes to light.’
‘Stunning and awe-inspiring.‘
‘Many cultures have perceived eclipses as change-inducing events. The eclipse of the sun is always a disruption of the normal order and a possibility of a new beginning.’
