“One of today’s most exciting dance artists.” —New York Times
One of New York City’s most talked-about dancer/choreographers and Guggenheim recipient Miguel Gutierrez returns with a provocative new work. Haunted by the ghostlike traces that dance leaves on your mind and body, Gutierrez and the Powerful People perform And lose the name of action, an evening-length séance with six unforgettable, award-winning performers who form an incongruent, temporary family. Inspired by Jorgen Leth’s film The Perfect Human, the elusive logic of dance improvisation, philosophical quandaries about the brain, the 19th-century spiritualist movement, and Shakespeare, And lose the name of action draws connections between the analytical and the unexplainable, grappling with the limits of language and the ever-present specter of death.
