33 Fainting Spells: Our Little Sunbeam

The Dance Theater Workshop presents 33 Fainting Spells: Our Little Sunbeam. The highly surprising work opposes the everyday despair expressed in Chekhov’s rarely produced tragedy Ivanov against the ecstacy of the American astronauts in their first view of the earth from space. In addition to music by Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, and Lou Reed, the work uses an original pop and rap score by co-artistic directors Dayna Hanson and Gaelen Hanson and guest artists Linas Phillips.
