LXIV (six.four) at Visceral Dance Center

LXIV (six.four) is a genre-bending hip hop theater work inspired by the legendary 1851 Immortal Chess Game. The story begins off the board, where each chess piece is brought to life as a fully realized character navigating power, hierarchy, and human complexity.

As tensions mount, the audience is drawn to the board and into the heart of the historic match, where a seemingly minor pawn turns the tide and a checkmate unfolds. LXIV (six.four) blends theatrical storytelling with street dance forms, using chess as a metaphor for agency, sacrifice, and choice within structured systems.
