having been breathed out

ISHIDA Dance Company in collaboration with Asia Society presents the world premiere of having been breathed out. The program includes an original ISHIDA poetic narrative titled American Gothic which explores the internal and external dynamics of the nuclear family. The program also includes Horizons by Greek choreographer Adonis Foniadakis and critically acclaimed Mutual Comfort by Edward Clug from Romania. Clug is an award-winning choreographer and Artistic Director of Maribor Ballet who has created several works on Stuttgart Ballet, Zurich Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), and others. Foniadakis’ work is well known in Europe commissioned by many of the top European dance companies over the past two decades. The evening promises to be a unique opportunity to see some of the best and most interesting choreography from Europe and the US.
