Ruin Dance Performance

Choreographer Kyle Marshall reacts to the work of Henri Matisse, inspired by our current exhibition Matisse in the 1930s, in a dance entitled Ruin.

This performance explores body percussion, our physical relationship to sound, natural rhythms, and elemental human ritual. Through the magic of kinetic sonic devices, the performers source the ground and the air for sound in real time. Ruin is a reflection on the echoes of history, the dynamic cycles of human civilization, and the syncopation of modern life.
