“The propulsion of the hand and heel was connected to arcs throughout the body. You could liken the rolls to waves and tides of the sea. You could also feel them as helpless searches for a point of rest..the plight “Atlas” expressed became larger than that of one individual.” – Alastair Macaulay, New York Times.
Opening will be Baltimore native and premiere avant-garde multi instrumentalist Jamal Moore
