Jan 17, 23, 24, 30, and 31 at 7:30pm, Jan 18 & 25 at 5pm and Feb 1 at 2pm & 5pm
Dance Brigade is proud to present the premiere of Match Girrl, a fractured fairy tale about class struggle exploring the drug and homeless crisis in San Francisco as it relates to poverty, addiction, skyrocketing housing costs, and the lack of political will to make exacting change. The piece, originally presented in January 2024 as a work-in-progress is now in its final iteration to mark the culmination of Dance Brigade's 50th Anniversary Celebration Season. The performance runs for three weekends, January 17-February 1 at Dance Mission Theater.
Set in a contemporary urban setting, director Krissy Keefer uses dance, theater, and original writings to explore the "doom loop" of San Francisco with a deep, heartening, and even humorous reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale, The Little Match Girl. Created and directed by Krissy Keefer with generous choreographic contributions by Fredrika Keefer and Bianca Mendoza, lights by Harry Rubeck, sound by Jabari Tawiah, video by Lena Gatchalian, set by Lisa Calderon, and performed by Bianca Mendoza, Sarah Bush, Johanna Gormley, Kimberly B Valmore, Deb'e Taylor, KJ Dahlaw, Frances Sedayao, Megan Lowe, dominique hargrove, and Sierra Tiatia.
$20-$40.
