East Coast Presents DARK MATTERS 10/21-24

The East Coast premiere of "Dark Matters," Crystal Pite's dramatic query into the unknown, will be presented by Peak Performances @ Montclair at Montclair State University's Alexander Kasser Theater, October 21-24.

Inspired by the mysterious qualities of dark matter, the 2009 work begins with a conversation between a Bunraku puppet and its creator. Its second act is an abstracted and intensely choreographed version of the first, which raises philosophical questions about creation vs. destruction and free will vs. manipulation. The original score was created by Owen Belton.
