Sharp & Fine: Just Ahead is Darkness
JUST AHEAD IS DARKNESS is Sharp & Fine's newest “play for dance.” A devised work for six performers and four musicians, Just Ahead is Darkness draws on the Japanese and Japanese-American tradition of remembering the dead with Bon dances to tell a poignant and magical tale about family, love, loss, and the eternal return of ghosts.
February 7 & 8 at 8pm / February 9 at 2pm
