Much missed in town since his Twenty Looks or Paris Is Burning at the Judson Church brought down the house at Redcat several years ago, Trajal Harrell presents PORCA MISERIA, a new trio of dance works focussed on the social environments of three female icons—Medea, Maggie (from Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), and a legend of American dance: The Deathbed of Katherine Dunham.

MAGGIE THE CAT recently premiered at the Manchester International Festival, and all three sections will play at art and dance spaces over the next two years. Manchester photographs courtesy and © Tristram Kenton.
