Love Letters : Cage to Cunningham
Company:
Site-Specific Dances
Love Letters: Cage to Cunningham is a new dance and media performance from Site-Specific Dances, inspired by Love, Icebox—the intimate letters between composer John Cage and choreographer Merce Cunningham. Known for rejecting emotion in their art, these private words reveal desire, humor, jealousy, arousal, loneliness and tenderness, emotions specific to the letters but also universal to human experiences of love and longing. By bringing the letters to the stage (as immersive typography and dance videography, in conversation with live dance and music), the piece reclaims a hidden chapter of queer history, celebrating a radical queer collaborative partnership that shaped interdisciplinary art as we know it today.
