Aszure Barton & Ambrose Akinmusire: A a | a B : B E N D

“It’s magical. You can’t take your eyes off it.” —tanznetz.

A a | a B : B E N D is a glitch in the matrix. The brainchild of acclaimed choreographer Aszure Barton and eminent trumpeter/composer Ambrose Akinmusire, this large-scale dance piece remixes ballet with vogue, jazz with electronica, analog with digital. Responding to a live score composed and performed by Akinmusire, 12 hooded figures fire in and out of unison like nodes in a network. With audience members seated on and around the stage, B E N D amplifies the circular dialogue between dance and music, transforming the theater into an alternate universe.
