Live dance returns to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts with the world premiere of Heidi Duckler Dances The Chandelier, a site-specific work choreographed and directed by company Founder/Artistic Director Heidi Duckler, running four nights, Thursday August 12 to Sunday, August 15, 2021, at 8 pm, on The Wallis outdoor stage. Taking the audience on an epic journey, The Chandelier, created for The Wallis, is based on a novel of the same title by Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, which was hailed by The New York Times for its undeniable quantity of genius (and) heart-stopping payoff. Duckler animates the book's interior monologues and devises characters from odd fragments of dialogue to create a moving portrait of a family living amid the ruins of a colonial society. Through layers of imagery, acts of repetition and audience engagement, Duckler explores the contrasting ideas of impermanence and the irrevocable. Los Angeles-based Heidi Ducker Dance is noted for creating ephemeral place-based performances that transform non-traditional spaces.
