An 8-person piece exploring the dynamic music of Whitney George‘s “Inferno”. Delving into the underworld to explore the dancers’ inner demons and the ways in which they reveal and resolve themselves, the piece is violent, haunting, and immersive.
Premiered at the Periapsis Music and Dance Inaugural Concert at Roulette in February 2013.
