Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble Presents

In the Eye of a Dream

Choreographed by Anna Sokolow

Directed by Samantha Géracht

The Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble presents a new immersive production of Anna Sokolow’s tributes to painters Frida Kahlo and Rene Magritte. In “Frida,” an intimate portrait based on Sokolow’s personal relationship with Frida Kahlo, Sokolow created a multimedia homage to her friend’s internal life and public persona. Sokolow’s masterwork “Magritte, Magritte” sets the disturbing, paradoxical paintings of Surrealist Rene Magritte into action, with text by John White. With guest artists Clarence Brooks and Christine Dakin, former artistic director of the Martha Graham Company, and video projections by Proteo Media.

About the Company:

SOKOLOW THEATRE/DANCE ENSEMBLE is the living legacy company dedicated to presenting Anna Sokolow’s vast body of emotionally riveting work. Over a 70 year career, Ms. Sokolow continuously broke the conventions of modern dance, focusing on the human experience and drawing upon whatever genre best served her artistic purpose. Her masterpieces remain relevant to our times and touch the hearts of all people as we struggle with the universal issues of living, regardless of differences in place and culture. The company’s projects include reconstruction, reimagination, deconstruction, historical performance, teaching, lectures, archiving, and partnering with contemporary choreographers—all modes through which we step inside Sokolow’s masterworks and draw from this perspective to better frame our future. ST/DE was founded by Sokolow protege Jim May and is currently under the artistic direction of Samantha Geracht. For more information visit www.sokolowtheatredance.org.
