2025 | Borrowed Light
Borrowed Light captures the ritualistic essence of dance and the profound strength of community. Inspired by the radical Shakers movement of the 1700s and 1800s, the work explores total surrender and devotion to a community. The live performance of original Shaker hymns by The Boston Camerata fills the space with ethereal harmonies that echo through the repetitive rituals of the movement. Collective identity can carry towards something greater, but at what point do its rigid values push the individual to the very limits of their devotion?
“Powerful, elemental, and unforgettable.”
– The Boston Globe (USA)
“Best of 2006 / 10 Best List”
– The New York Times (USA)
