“It was hard to tell whether the crush of people around me were crying or praying or exulting or all three at once … the show was like going to church” — GQ on Perfume Genius

 

“Peculiarly hypnotic … has the power of a cryptic ritual”— The Seattle Times on Wallich’s work

The Sun Still Burns Here is an evening-length dance and music work created by Seattle-based choreographer Kate Wallich, her company The YC, and musician/composer Mike Hadreas of the band Perfume Genius. Combining Hadreas’s musical textures and landscapes, Wallich’s choreographic narratives, and Amiya Brown’s production design, The Sun Still Burns Here unravels themes of deterioration, catharsis, and transcendence from the body. Wallich and Hadreas unite a team of musicians, dancers, and designers to create a stunning and emotionally complex performance that radically integrates indie rock with contemporary dance.

Note: Theatrical haze and strobe lighting will be used throughout the performance of The Sun Still Burns Here.
