The Midway's Artist-in-Residence Post:ballet unveils Magma, an evening-length immersive experience inspired by the myth of Cassandra, who was cursed with the power to see the future while no one believed her visions. Told through an ominous, contemporary lens, Magma unfolds across six rooms in The Midway, weaving together an awe-inspiring blend of choreography, text, music, lighting, and projection mapping for a modern day masterpiece by choreographer/director Moscelyne ParkeHarrison.
Guests decide where to go and what to see, ensuring that everyone's journey is unique and each performance is different. Fueled by the contemporary dance artists of Post:ballet, "a company that not only lives dangerously- it thrives on it," (SF Chronicle), Magma peels back the layers of truth to reveal a gripping social commentary on humanity's desire to understand and control the world around them.
Following the Friday and Saturday shows, join us for a Post:party with guest DJs, special performances, and more. Party collaborations to be announced soon!
Magma's creative team features Moscelyne ParkeHarrison (Choreography, Concept, and Direction), Robin Dekkers (Direction), Mia J. Chong with D Calhoun (Costume), DJ ariB (Music) Dante Ison (Lighting), Zoey Vero (Projection), Shana ParkeHarrison (Visual Art).
Warning: This performance includes the use of haze.
