Come witness the debut of a newly unearthed Canticle for Innocent Comedians, performed by the "most skilled and powerful dancers you can ever hope to see" (Washington Post). The Martha Graham Company's original 1952 Canticle was beloved but is now considered lost. Their new Canticle is based on the same themes and format as the original, with a new score by jazz pianist and composer Jason Moran performed live by Wild Up, Christopher Rountree's exuberant modern ensemble of classical musicians. This is the second appearance for the world-famous dance company onstage at The Soraya this season, and fifth overall.
