Learn About Magma:
Magma is an evening-length immersive dance theater experience produced by Post:ballet and choreographed by Resident Choreographer Moscelyne ParkeHarrison. The work is set in the Midway and follows nine characters navigating their relationship to truth, ignorance, and entropy. Inspired by the The Cassandra Complex, Magma is based on the ancient Greek myth of Cassandra, who was cursed with foretelling the future whilst no one believed her visions. This archetype is a common term in modern day psychology associated with the stereotype of hysterical personalities or forecasters of global disasters.
Magma's final premiere will unfold in three chapters, beginning with all of the dancers moving throughout the Midway and culminating in an event that brings the audience and the performers together for the first time in the performance, confronting an event which is alluded to throughout the first two chapters of the work.
