Maiden Mother Crone
About this Event
The Trials of Emergence, Release & Silence
Eight dancers, four models, and an eight-piece chamber music ensemble bring this new mythic work to life through contemporary ballet, new music, original fashion, projection, and theatrical design.
Drawing on the archetypes of Maiden, Mother, and Crone, the work unfolds as a series of initiatory trials moving toward self-realization, transformation, and the full emergence of power.
Fashion is woven into the world of the performance through bold original designs by Robby Durand of EmmaSis Designs. Before the performance, audiences will encounter a large-scale fashion installation in the lobby, with models presented on pedestals as living works of art.
The production features live music performed by Density512, with an eight-piece ensemble of string quintet, piano, trumpet, and bass trombone.
The score brings together original composition by Joe Jaxson with music by Charles Ives, Olivier Messiaen, Philip Glass, and Antonín Dvořák, creating a musical landscape that moves between the contemporary, the intimate, and the monumental.
Created and Choreographed by Red Nightfall Artistic Director Dorothy O’Shea Overbey, with guest choreography by Tikiri Shapiroand Jessica Siclari.
Original fashion and set design by Robby Durand of EmmaSis Designs.
Live music by Density512.
Lighting design by Trent Brown and Katy Hallee of Doghouse Productions.
