“[Petronio] has a singular knack for pairing his sexually charged, elegantly virtuosic movement language with some of the hottest musicians and fashion designers of the moment.”—The New York Times
Stephen Petronio’s Underland is a sexy, enigmatic fusion of dance, music and visual imagery inspired by the tender, bittersweet songs of pop balladeer Nick Cave. Completing Petronio’s vision is an exquisite triptych of projected imagery by visual designer Ken Tabachnick and video artist Mike Daly as well as costumes by Tara Subkoff. Together with his superb company of 11 dancers, they create the provocative world that is Underland.
Free preperformance talks with choreographer Stephen Petronio, moderated by dance critic Debra Cash 30 minutes prior to the performances in the ICA lobby.
Free postperformance Q&A with the company: Friday, February 10.

AcousticaElectronica blends the virtuosity found in the classical concert hall with the infectious energy of the late-night dance club. The best of both worlds: artistic depth and irresistible appeal. It is sexy and classy, sensuous and stoic, irreverent and reverential. Bach meets a dance club back-beat, Chopin meets trance, Carmen’s habanera and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata are blended with house music for a listening experience unlike anything you have ever heard before. Live Musicians perform with The WIG, a classically trained, New York based DJ. Professional dancers reinvent the typical "go-go" dancer, blending ballet, jazz, modern and improvised movement. Aerialists fly above the audience as if Cirque du Soleil met a rave. The music, dance and art integrate to create total ecstasy…
