As we deal with grief and strife on personal and global levels, nine KYL/D dancers search for healing and connection. This concert features Mandala (Excerpt, 2011), described as “A masterwork of art, spirituality, and stagecraft” by the Inquirer, alongside works by KYL/D senior dance artists. Koyl (2016) by Evalina Carbonell is a duet of two women who transform the coiled inner violence of the feminine experience into empathy and maturity. Weiwei Ma’s work Dragon (2023), informed by a sculpture by Yuyu Yang, utilizes the mythological creature to explore Chinese philosophy and symbolism. The evening concludes with the world premiere of Breath into Air (2024), a work that investigates what opportunities death and loss can offer us, a space to ponder what remains, and how to be thankful for the gift of every breath. This work was developed in memory of board member, Marla Soffer.

KYL/D Ensemble: Evalina Carbonell, Weiwei Ma, Keila Pérez-Vega, Sophie Malin, Takashi Kanai, Robert Burden, Kendall Niblett, Abby Donnenfeld, Angelica Nieves-Merced.
