Ephrat Asherie collaborates with Grammy award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill on the company’s newest creation, Shadow Cities, a reflection on the beauty, vastness, and joy of the in-between. Bringing together Asherie’s innovative and rigorous choreography with O’Farrill’s singular and mesmerizing sound, Shadow Cities is a beautiful extension of Ephrat Asherie Dance’s dedication to working with live music. With a cast of six dancers and four musicians, this work explores what it means to stay afloat in the in-between.“We are split between cities, memories, and generations; we are an amalgam of cultures, fully embodied and fragmented all at once; our movements are concurrently malleable and explosive, our identities fixed and infinitely fluid. Whether as immigrants, BIPOC identities, or first-generation Americans, this feeling of in-betweenness connects everyone in the work as we ask how and why—halfway between so many disparate extremes in time, space, and state—we often feel our most enlivened selves. It is from this vivid place that Shadow Cities comes to life.” – Ephrat Asherie
