This October, Washington, D.C.’s Dissonance Dance Theatre&nbsp;(DDT) celebrates its 20th anniversary season at&nbsp;the Publick Playhouse with&nbsp;Through the Dark, the Light Beckons, a powerful evening of movement and meaning&nbsp;rooted in the African American experience.&nbsp;Featuring&nbsp;beloved company repertoire and world premieres by acclaimed choreographer Shawn Short, the program unfolds in three chapters—the pulse and grit of the city’s streets; the fragments of memory that shape us; and the spirit, soul, and sophistication of everyday people.
The evening moves to a soundtrack as wide-ranging as its stories: the grooves of Earth, Wind &amp; Fire; the velvet soul of Nancy Wilson and October London; the Afro-pop voice of Angélique Kidjo,&nbsp;cellist Abel Selaoco’s percussive fire; and the cinematic scores of Hans Zimmer and Max Richter. Danced by DDT’s newest company of exceptional artists with&nbsp;athleticism, nuance, and emotional depth, Dissonance&nbsp;illuminates&nbsp;stories both personal and collective, inviting audiences to reflect, feel, and find light within the darkness.&nbsp;
Please Note: All Publick Playhouse ticket sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges.&nbsp;For All Ages | Tickets: General&nbsp;$25; Senior/Student $20
