NobleMotion entered season 16 with Stalactites, a mysterious new evening of dance theater that premiered at the MATCH, August 22-24, 2024. Set in a futuristic primal society, Stalactites draws inspiration from Plato’s allegory of the cave as a response to current advances in AI technology. The theater is transformed into an industrial cave with climbable architectural structures designed by Jared Doster. The light grid is lowered into the performance space allowing light designer Bryan Ealey to shape the world as the dancers perform above the fixtures. And a new hour-long music score by Travis Lake haunts and renders beautiful a hollow world full of possibility. Stalactites is a physical and evocative evening-length performance that offers a glimpse into one possible future of human “progress.”
Featuring a cast of 13 NobleMotion Dance artists and NMD’s Second Company!
