Seán Curran Company makes its NYU Skirball debut with two works: the world premiere of PATH, with music from “Path of Miracles,” composed by Joby Talbot. The work reflects on the phenomenon of the Camino de Santiago — the ancient Catholic pilgrimage route across northern Spain to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia – and Curran’s own spiritual wayfaring. The company is also performing Everywhere All the Time (2018), with music by Donnacha Dennehy, which explores the relationship of humans with the natural environment and features a set by the noted landscape architect, the late Dr. Diana Balmori. The performances include lighting by Robert Wierzel, visual design by Mark Randall, and costumes by Liliana Casabal, founder of fashion label Morgane Le Fay.
