Martha Graham Dance Company

APR 18-30

The Martha Graham Dance Company returns to The Joyce as “spellbinding and prescient as ever” (The New York Times), with Graham classics framed by an incredible array of new works. The Company performs world premieres by Baye & Asa and Annie Rigney, alongside Hofesh Shechter’s high-energy CAVE. A new generation of choreographers re-envisions Graham's innovations in the mesmerizing Canticle for Innocent Comedians from lead choreographer Sonya Tayeh with Yue Yin, Jenn Freeman, Micaela Taylor, Juliano Nunes, Alleyne Dance, and Robert Cohan, all performed to the heralded new score by jazz great Jason Moran. With their stunning mid-century sets by Isamu Noguchi, Graham’s masterworks Cave of the Heart and Embattled Garden return to the stage. Her earliest comedy, Every Soul is a Circus, and her compelling modernist ritual, Dark Meadow Suite, round out the programming.
