Impact (2019)

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco

Inspired by the Brutalist movement in architecture, with its emphasis on massive exposed concrete construction, and a wistfulness for the anti-bourgeois spirit of an earlier era, Impact features a cast of 16 performers inhabiting a dystopian world in the near future. With scenic design by Alice Malia and commissioned music by Aaron M Gold, this new contemporary dance will lead audiences through a mirror world eerily like our own.
