The Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University
November 15-18

Choreographers Dalisa Pigram and Serge Aimé Coulibali, team up with Rachael Swain (Concept), Edwin Lee Mulligan (Poems) and Rachael Swain (Director) for Cut the Sky, presented by Marrugeku, Australia’s dance theater ensemble of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. Described as “A rock concert, a work of modern dance, and a plea for environmental action and the rights of Indigenous peoples, Cut the Sky addresses humanity’s frailty in the face of its own actions. In 70 minutes, Cut the Sky collides dance, video, poetry, and song. Propelled back and forward in time, Cut the Sky revisits conflict with mining companies, the destruction of fauna, and the relegation of the marginalized, while contemplating the gift of a human life and the life giving force of the sun. Butterflies swarm searching for water; dancers disintegrate into the light; a song is sung calling for rain. The performance in five acts is based on poems written and spoken by Nyikina/Walmajarri artist Edwin Lee Mulligan, and includes original songs from Ngaiire, Indigenous songs by the cast, and Nick Cave and Buffalo Springfield covers, sung by Ngaire Pigram," according to the release.
