World premiere of House of Names, an evening-length contemporary ballet reshaping the narratives of women and mythology. House of Names will consist of four original pieces, all focusing on women in biblical and mythological stories: Lot's Wife, Cassandra, La Llorona and Miriam. Brussel will be exploring these stories with a contemporary eye: Lot's Wife as a modern immigration story; Cassandra in the #metoo era, La Llorona as a woman haunted by her postpartum psychosis. And Miriam, a prophet and leader. The ballet delves deeply into these stories, making them new and relevant. Original music by composer Carla Lucero. Marika Brussel is a contemporary ballet choreographer, working to bring ballet into the 21st Century.
These performances of House of Names were made possible in part by the Fleishhacker Opportunity Fund. Thanks to Moving Arts Studio and Levydance for studio residencies.
