Description

World premiere

Songs for the Dark is a new performance exploring the ritual of song that holds us. 

Devised by Australian interdisciplinary artist/composer Sophia Brous with collaborating performers from the Hudson Valley and Berkshires region, and Latvian dramaturg Gundega Laiviņa, the performance examines the global repertoire of lullabies that help us through the dark. 

Bringing together song and personal storytelling, this show is a testimony to our universal need to be soothed and secure. Part immersive performance, concert nocturne, and public testimonial, it is an invitation to witness each other’s humanity together.

Commissioned by PS21 : Center for Contemporary Performance.

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
