MOVEMENT – THE DANCE SERIES: Presented by River Run Centre
Co-presented by Guelph Dance

Night is electric, immersive, rejuvenating, and disarming; its mysteries offer respite from the drama of the day.
The nights of our generation are aglow with artificial light. Is there no trace of darkness left on you?
Inspired by Christopher Dewdney’s award-winning book Acquainted with the Night, Shannon Litzenberger’s World After Dark explores our relationship with the physical and metaphorical night. From the three stages of nightfall to the science of the cosmos, from the birth of nightlife to the empire of dreams, from the biology of nocturnal creatures to the mythology of the night sky, this multi-media, multi-sensory production takes us on an epic voyage through the mysteries of night.
With an outstanding creative team and ensemble of performers, World After Dark invites us to reclaim the night – a metaphor for the sensual, the embodied, and the feminine.
