The world premiere of The Mercy Velvet Project is a new work by kamrDANCE's Alexis Robbins, created in partnership with the International Festival of Arts & Ideas and kamrDANCE. The work draws on the legacy of the Providence-based band Mercy Velvet, bringing their 1999 album Live in Vain to the stage for the first time, reimagined through music, dance, and storytelling. Blending tap as percussion, contemporary dance, live instrumentation, and text, the piece expresses love, vulnerability, and human connection.
