The Joyce Theater
Irish contemporary choreographer Doherty makes her Joyce debut with the New York premiere of the evening-length work Navy Blue. "This urgent appeal for societal change that draws a direct line from the past to the present...Combining ensemble movement, spoken word poetry, and political candor. Part existential crisis, part demand for redemption and freedom, the piece for twelve dancers seeks a new future for us all by reveling in and then liberating artists from the beautiful yet binding order and rules of classical art and the world as a whole," notes the release.
