“...voluptuous movement phrases with touches of dance theater.”

Award-winning choreographer and performer Kyle Abraham returns to Seattle with an evening-length program of new work inspired by jazz great Max Roach’s We Insist Freedom Now.

The evening includes Hallowed, set to a series of spiritual hymns; The Gettin’, a new ensemble work created in collaboration with Grammy award-winning jazz musician Robert Glasper and world renowned visual artist Glenn Ligon; and When the Wolves Came In, an ensemble work for six dancers set to the music of the acclaimed American contemporary composer Nico Muhly.

When the Wolves Came In is a co-presentation with Seattle Theatre Group and will take place at The Moore Theatre.
