Soulskin and Maffei Dance to Debut FRACTURED at Ailey Citigroup Theater

SOULSKIN Dance and MAFFEI DANCE Company will present FRACTURED, a shared evening of contemporary dance, at Ailey Citigroup Theater. The program will feature four world premiere works by choreographers Adrianna Thompson and JoLea Maffei.

Performances will take place Friday, February 27 at 7:30 p.m. EST and Saturday, February 28 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. EST. Ticket prices range from $25 to $45, with tickets available through Eventbrite.

FRACTURED marks a reunion for Thompson and Maffei, who share a longstanding artistic history but have not presented work together in more than twenty years. The evening explores themes of perception, psychological states, and transformation through distinct choreographic voices presented in a single program.

SOULSKIN Dance will present two world premieres. Blinded examines political unrest and the disillusionment of democratic ideals, while Unpredictable Encounters, a quartet, explores intimacy and instability within human relationships. The latter is set to a newly commissioned score combining electronic and lyrical elements. Thompson collaborated with lighting designer Kathy Kaufmann, costume designer Catherine Cooper, visual artists Iwalani Kaluhiokaaklani and Jaco Strydom, and composers Roxy Roller and Reuben Butchart. Performers include RJ Carrier, Andrea Dusel, Federico Garcia, Barbara Koch, Kennyth Montes De Oca, Leslie Plummer, Sophia Rumasuglia, and Andy Santana.
