On Wednesday, January 21st at 11am, Sex 14’s welcomes renowned choreographer Mark Morris to the KALX studios to discuss the West Coast premiere of his latest creation, MOON.
MOON is presented by Cal Performances and will be at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley for three performances from Friday, January 23rd through Sunday, January 25th.
MOON poetically explores mankind’s fascination with the Moon in popular imagination and throughout human history. The hour-long work for nine dancers is inspired by the Golden Record, an audio recording placed aboard the two 1977 Voyager spacecrafts as a means of communicating with extraterrestrials. The dreamy, whimsical, and witty performance draws from a wide range of textual, visual, and musical sources, which Morris weaves together with his signature musicality.
Mark Morris has been hailed as “the most prodigiously gifted choreographer of the post-Balanchine era” (Time). In addition to creating more than 150 works for his dance group, which he founded in 1980, Morris conducts orchestras, directs opera, and choreographs for ballet companies around the world.
