An evening with Johan Inger
An evening with Johan Inger
“The evening will not be a story, but a journey: from earth to elegy, from memory to possibility. A meditation on what remains, and what can still be found.” – Johan Inger
This program celebrates acclaimed Swedish choreographer Johan Inger, whose work moves from gritty, poetic intensity to luminous joy. His raw meditation Rain Dogs, set to the unmistakable voice of Tom Waits, and his audience favorite Bliss, danced to Keith Jarrett’s legendary Köln Concert, are bridged by Gibney-commissioned When It Was, a work described by the choreographer as “an elegy for beauty remembered, and for what slips away.”
