CAVE OF THE HEART
Choreography & Costumes: Martha Graham
Music: Samuel Barber*
Set: Isamu Noguchi
Original lighting: Jean Rosenthal, adapted by Beverly Emmons
Premiere: May 10, 1946, Columbia University, New York City
Cave of the Heart is a study of the destructive powers of love, the dark passions that guard the human heart, coiled like a serpent ready to strike when attacked. In the myth, Medea, a sorceress, falls in love with Jason and uses her magical powers to help him gain the Golden Fleece. Sacrificing all that is dear to her, she flees with him to Corinth. But Jason is ambitious and abandons Medea. Betrayed and exiled, Medea plots a course that will end with the death of her rival, the Princess, and the murder of her own two children. The Chorus, foreseeing the tragedy about to be enacted, tries to prevent it, and suffers its deepest meaning.

CORTEGE 2023
Choreography: Baye & Asa
Music: Aidan Elias*
Costumes: Caleb Krieg
Lighting: Yi-Chung Chen
World Premiere: April 18, 2023, The Joyce Theater, New York City
Drawing inspiration from Martha Graham's Cortege of Eagles, Baye & Asa focus on Charon, the ferryman who shepherds souls to the underworld. In Graham's work, Charon is the harbinger of the Trojan Empire's inevitable fall. In Cortege 2023, Baye & Asa ask: Who is today's Charon?

Set: Isamu Noguchi
Original lighting: Jean Rosenthal, adapted by Beverly Emmons
Premiere: April 3, 1958, Adelphi Theatre, New York City
Love, it has been said, does not obey the rules of love but yields to some more ancient and ruder law. The Garden of Love seems always to be threatened by the Stranger’s knowledge of the world outside and by the old knowledge of those like Lilith (according to legend, Adam’s wife before Eve) who lived there first.

EVERY SOUL IS A CIRCUS
Choreography & Costumes: Martha Graham
Music: Paul Nordoff
Original lighting: Jean Rosenthal, adapted by Beverly Emmons
Set: Philip Stapp
Premiere: December 27, 1939, St. James Theater, New York City
This is not the circus of canvas and sawdust ring, but a circus of ridiculous situations and foolish behaviors. In every woman there is the desire to be featured in a “star turn,” as the apex of a triangle, and as the beloved of a duet. In the life of every woman she is her own most appreciative spectator. In this circus of a foolish woman’s life, the sum total of episodes and of interludes does not add up to dignity, but to addled confusion.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION
The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for over three decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 400 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (K–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 340 performances for audiences in excess of 150,000 patrons. Visit Joyce.org for more information.
FUNDERS
Many Thanks to The Joyce's Institutional Funders for Keeping Us Moving Forward
An abundance of gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Representative Jerrold Nadler, and Representative Nydia M. Velázquez for their visionary leadership that established the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which has helped make the reopening of The Joyce Theater and the reemergence of many dance companies possible.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.
We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.
We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.
It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
