Eiko & Koma: Regeneration

Eiko and Koma met nearly 40 years ago in Japan and created a sensation when they brought their otherworldly, intense form of dance to this country in the mid-1970s.

Rich in visual elements and unfolding in tiny increments of movement, their work creates profound connections for the viewer. As Gia Kourlas wrote in the New York Times, “…the moving-painting quality of their choreography is profoundly arresting, both theatrically and visually … You connect to their world not by watching, but by imagining that you are living inside their bodies.”

Regeneration’s three pieces will unfold from newest to oldest, beginning with Raven (2010), performed to original Native American flute music composed by Robert Mirabal. Night Tide (1984) will feature recorded music by Kronos Quartet and White Dance (1976) is set to medieval European music and Bach.
