Storm and Silence
A woven tapestry of dance, spoken word, and live music which comes together for a nuanced tale of myth, memory and history. Historical events married with family folklore arose the tale of Lorelei, a dancer during WWII, who escapes into the River and enters an underwater mythological dreamworld.
“Storm & Silence / Sid Ryan Eilers’ choreography is sharp...Filled with exquisite contradictions, movement here is contracted and stark, then suddenly lyrical and lovely.”
