See highlights from a Martha Graham Dance Company commissioned expansion of choreographers Baye & Asa’s Cortege 2023. Inspired by Martha Graham’s Cortege of Eagles, in which the ferryman for the underworld, Charon, foreshadows the fall of Troy, Baye & Asa’s work asks, “Who is the ferryman for the fall of the American Empire?” This evening culminates a weeklong Works & Process LaunchPAD residency at the Catskill Mountain Foundation, and Baye and Asa will participate in a moderated discussion with artistic director Janet Eilber. Martha Graham Dance Company members will perform excerpts prior to the work’s premiere.
