CANCELED: Madboots Dance: Holy

Why you shouldn’t miss this!

Riveting … I hope to see more of the company’s work.

The New York Times

For its rhythmic persistence and vision of everyday veneration, Allen Ginsberg’s iconic Footnote to Howl runs through the veins of this anthemic work.

Choreographers Jonathan Campbell and Austin Diaz mine their athletic yet vulnerable movement language to create a world that pays reverence to humankind. Joining the creative team, New York-based composer Jordan Chiolis builds an original soundscape to be performed live. HOLY is a meditation on corporeal magnanimity.

Appropriate for ages 18+.
