For its inaugural event of the 2014 season, Basilica Hudson will present
ECLIPSE, a collaboration between Sean Kelly artist Anthony McCall and choreographer Jonah Bokaer.
ECLIPSE is a multidisciplinary performance that integrates choreography, light, visual design, and an audio-visual time score to arrive at altered ways of viewing a performance. First imagined while the artists were in residence in Hudson in 2012 and working at Basilica,
ECLIPSE creates illusions of expanded space through the use of movement, visual design, lighting, and media.
The piece features four dancers and Bokaer, dancing at the center of a site-specific, freestanding seating configuration. Viewers will be invited to circumnavigate the piece, experiencing the dancers and McCall's spare, sculptural set from all sides.
ECLIPSE made its debut at the 2012 BAM Next Wave Festival.
