HEIDI DUCKLER DANCE — ILLUMINATING THE CHANDELIER

Leave a reply

While following a similar narrative as the longer live dance piece, ILLUMINATING THE CHANDELIER focuses specifically on the interior monologue of a woman in isolation who experiences dissociated, dreamlike feelings and has trouble connecting to the world around her. Through layers of imagery and acts of repetition, the work explores the contrasting ideas of impermanence and the irrevocable, especially in the context of what we as a society are all going through in this moment. — Heidi Duckler

This week, Heidi Duckler Dance will livestream the premiere of ILLUMINATING THE CHANDELIER, “precursor to and shortened version” of the company’s live performance The Chandelier—based on the novel by Clarice Lispector—originally slated to premiere at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in spring 2020.

The livestream performance is free, with a $15 suggested donation to benefit the company. Following the premiere, the performance will be available on demand.
