About the Show
Noli Timere is a soaring aerial performance featuring eight extraordinary, multidisciplinary performers moving over and within a custom designed net sculpture, suspended up to 25 feet in the air. Conceived by Guggenheim Award-winning choreographer Rebecca Lazier in partnership with world renowned sculptor Janet Echelman, Noli Timere presents a seamless, symbiotic interaction between movement and sculpture in which both are continually reshaped and transformed by one another. Created with original music by acclaimed Quebecoise composer Jorane, Noli Timere fuses contemporary dance and avant-garde circus with art installation and advanced engineering, to question how one navigates an unstable world.
The culmination of a 5-year collaboration, Noli Timere, Latin for ‘be not afraid’, uniquely renders interconnectedness visible and tangible–demonstrating, like the Butterfly Effect, how a change in one element generates cascading reverberations throughout a whole system.
