The Alabama Dance Festival and Klein Arts & Culture present
Wideman Davis Dance in Migratuse Ataraxia
7:00pm, Klein-Wallace House, Harpersville, Alabama
Migratuse Ataraxia is a multimedia dance performance that shifts the rules of representation in antebellum domestic spaces to memorialize the lives of enslaved individuals through movement, technology, visual installations, a curated meal, and community dialogue. Performers will lead audience members through a series of vignettes – each staged in a separate room – that de-territorializes each room and challenges notions of freedom and movement through racialized spaces. Performances are January 20-21, and 24-26. Space is limited for each performance. Single tickets will be available in November and priced to include the curated dinner. For more information about how to request tickets, email rosemary@alabamadancecouncil.org.
Migratuse: Migrated, departed, to have gone away, having been changed, and the habitual patterns of moving from one place to another.
Ataraxia: Calmness or a peace of mind, emotional tranquility.
