House of DOV's CIRCLE OF APATHY to Have World Premiere at Ragdale

House of DOV will present the World Premiere of Circle of Apathy on Saturday, June 20 at 6PM and Sunday, June 21 at 2:30PM at Ragdale, 1260 North Green Bay Road, Lake Forest, IL, 60045. Tickets for Ragdale start at $15 (children 12 and under are free).

In Circle of Apathy, the new dance project from House of DOV featuring live music from Family Junket, the ensemble explores the cycles of growth and disintegration intrinsic to nature and works together to build physical structures which increase in precarity as the group strives toward expansion.

Family Junket's five musicians blare dense soul with moments of ambience: voices wail, altered by a vocal pedal; saxophone, flute and violin harmonize over precomposed loops; djembe, drum kit and percussion punctuate echoing acoustic piano. House of DOV's seven dancers push against seemingly immovable forces, find new hand and footholds, and creep forward like a vine up a brick wall. A woman walks through an increasingly dense wood until the brush closes around her entirely. When all paths disappear from sight, a figure steps blindly forward, trusting that there will be a stepping stone beneath their foot.
