A triple bill of emotion concludes the 2024-2025 Season at the Aronoff Center, featuring works from choreographers Alexander Ekman, and David Morse, and a regional premiere from Annabelle Lopez Ochoa.
Ekman’s Cacti is a playful and witty parody of contemporary dance. The work is an affectionate, pointed, and often hilarious deconstruction of the affectations of dance.
Both intimate and cinematic, Morse’s Our Story looks at the unique singularity of history’s darkest chapter – the Holocaust – and asks profound questions about what is required of each of us to appreciate our shared humanity.
The program is capped with Delmira, a regional premiere from Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. The dramatic work was inspired by the life of 20th-century Latin American poet Delmira Agustini, one of the first female poets of the modern era. Ochoa tells her story using the symbolism that Agustini employed in her writing.
