The Crossing
The Crossing by Kate Skarpetowska is a dark and meditative work for four dancers set to the music of MURCOF. It is inspired by images of a passage through a scorched and charred environment where black ash swirls in the heavy air. Simultaneously, it evokes a feeling of apprehension, as the dancer’s journey through the falling space around them, and creates a peaceful and quiet setting from which one could gather the broken pieces and find the strength to rebuild.
