The centerpiece, the NYC premiere of GUT, promises a trio of energetic athleticism, complex sensitivity, and persistent badassery. The epic evening continues with the company's freshest solo WannaBe, exploring the struggle of identity and gender persona, inspired by Golden Age Hollywood. Exposing a multi-faceted relationship, In Your Hands, offers perpetual support of three humans in a constantly shifting psychological landscape. Projecting instincts of social survival in different settings, the sextet Our Masks delivers a dream of soul-searching, enigmatic self-exploration.
