Hixon Dance in Black Angels

Hixon Dance announces its new production "Black Angels" featuring live music performed by Alicia Hui, Gyusun Han, Spencer Ingersoll, and Mary Davis, all members of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. The show is at 8pm on March 15 and 16, 2024 and 3pm on March 17, 2024. The evening will premiere new and favorite dance works. Performances will take place at Columbus Dance Theatre at 592 E. Main Street, Columbus, OH.

Hixon Dance will present its new work, The Nameless which examines the mental and emotional toll of war on the common citizenry, and how it creates victims both on and off the battlefield. The work is set to Dmitri Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8, a profoundly personal composition created during a time of deep depression for the composer due to political coercion by the Soviet Union and while reflecting on the bombing of Dresden during World War 2. The dance explores a different aspect of the war machine in each movement and serves as both a meditation and memorial for victims of war. This dynamic string quartet comes vividly alive in the hands of Hui, Han, Ingersoll, and Davis and is not to be missed!

Barbara Zuck of The Columbus Dispatch said "[Hixon] is having fun in her mock-tormented Within the Interstice. With the Moonlight Sonata on what sounds like a toy piano, all is not right in Hixon's cuckoo's nest, and the dancers' ultimate response to the weight of the world is -- the fetal position."
