Experience VISITORS on the silver screen and relive Paracosm Dance’s debut at the Orpheum Theatre.
The critically acclaimed evening of contemporary dance theatre, originally performed live on the Orpheum’s stage, returns in cinematic form to be experienced like never before. Filmed over two nights with thirteen cameras, this immersive screening places audiences closer than ever to the haunting world born of indie horror video games and dance theatre madness.
“Through and through, VISITORS is unsettling and thought-provoking. And its cast—a motley crew of highly-articulate, gorgeous dancers—made it spectacular…The work was an indisputable success.” – Kyra Laubacher, Editor at Dance Magazine, Words on Dance
“VISITORS is a gripping plunge into dread and raw emotional intensity, made unforgettable by Alyssa Johnson’s fearless artistic vision. As a choreographer, Johnson demonstrates extraordinary command of atmosphere and pacing, weaving multimedia, sound, and movement into a cohesive world that feels hauntingly intimate. As a dancer, she is one of the most compellingly precise practitioners of her craft and is visceral, unafraid to inhabit the darkest emotional edges of her work.” J. Nero-McArthur, Executive Director, BLL
VISITORS is not recommended for anyone under 13.
